Tuesday, April 8, 2025 - Thirdway Alliance party leader, Ekuru Aukot, has criticized political leaders who expose the Government’s wrongdoings only after being removed from office.
Speaking to Citizen TV on Tuesday, Aukot questioned
the credibility of such leaders, saying they remained silent while enjoying
power but now seek sympathy after their dismissal.
“There is a crisis of leadership. We don't even know who to
believe anymore.”
“Whether somebody is in government, or as soon as they exit
government they start telling us things,” Aukot said.
He described the current administration as “a conspiracy to
defraud Kenyans of better governance,”
“People know the bad things that are happening in
government, they don't speak but they still stay there until they are shown the
door.”
“These are fraudsters,” he added.
Aukot emphasized that such leaders must first reconcile with
Kenyans before taking on the role of opposition critics.
His remarks come amid a string of revelations from former
Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua and ex-Public Service CS Justin Muturi, both
of whom have accused President William Ruto’s administration of widespread
corruption.
Gachagua, ousted in October 2024, has accused Ruto of being
the “high priest” of corruption.
Ruto, in turn, claimed Gachagua demanded Ksh.10 billion to
mobilize Mt. Kenya political support - an allegation Gachagua dismissed as
“baseless.”
Muturi also accused Ruto of attempting to coerce him into
signing a Ksh.129 billion deal with Russian oligarchs, which he said violated
procurement laws.
According to Aukot, both Gachagua and Muturi are complicit
in the rot they now decry.
