Political commentator Willis Otieno has launched a scathing attack on the recent wave of giveaways linked to State House events, branding them as hollow displays designed purely for political optics.
According to Otieno, the distributions are carefully staged for the cameras, projecting an image of generosity while failing to address the country’s pressing issues.
He accused leaders of prioritizing media-friendly moments over genuine problem-solving, warning that such tactics are a disservice to citizens facing economic hardship.
He argued that the giveaways, often involving food items and other basic supplies, do little to create lasting change. Instead, he insisted that leaders should focus on sustainable policies that tackle unemployment, the rising cost of living, and the crumbling state of public services.
Otieno’s remarks have stirred intense debate, with many questioning whether such high-profile distributions are genuine acts of support or calculated moves to maintain political influence.
His comments come at a time when public trust in leadership is under increasing strain, and demand for real reforms is at an all-time high.
With the country’s challenges mounting, Otieno’s hard-hitting criticism has thrown the spotlight on the widening gap between political spectacle and meaningful governance.
