Former Kiambu Governor Ferdinand Waititu has launched scathing attacks on President William Ruto. He criticized Ruto for failing to deliver on his campaign pledges.
Waititu accused Ruto of deceiving Kenyans with false promises. He highlighted how Ruto’s behavior changed after assuming power from former President Uhuru Kenyatta. He specifically criticized Ruto for neglecting the hustlers who supported him during the 2022 elections. Ruto also neglected to tackle the rising cost of living and education expenses. Waititu also pointed out that Ruto’s unfulfilled promises extended to political leaders and the general public.
He questioned Ruto’s sincerity in addressing issues like police brutality and enforced disappearances. He emphasized the disappointment felt by various segments of society. This disappointment arose due to the unmet expectations from the President.
The former governor’s remarks underscore a growing disillusionment with Ruto’s leadership. Waititu highlights the gap between the President’s pre-election commitments and his actions in office.
The criticism reflects broader concerns about accountability and transparency in governance. Public figures like Waititu hold leaders like Ruto to task for their unkept promises. They also critique perceived failures in addressing critical societal challenges.
