Nairobi senator Edwin Sifuna has slammed President William Ruto and the whole Kenya Kwanza regime for failing to deliver to Kenyans.
According to Sifuna, the Kenya Kwanza government brought its undoing by itself, and now instead of fixing their failures, Ruto is fighting him and tracking his online activities. He fiercely told the Ruto that the use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) tools to show his popularity in the country will not help him.
“Instead of fixing the people’s problems, Ruto thinks AI will help him win back popular support by tracking my online activity and sending me bots to harass me. It isn’t me who gave the KK Government a bad name. They did it themselves,” Sifuna remarked.
Sifuna was responding to an online survey by the Central Bank of Kenya (CBK), which showed that borrowing of loans was high in Central Kenya 40%, Rift Valley 25%, Nairobi 20% and the Coat region 15%, with a large population of borrowers being male at 52%.
Sifuna slammed the president for finding comfort in survey that showed his development popularity in areas termed as his strongholds. This is not the first time Sifuna is hitting on Kenya Kwanza government for failing to deliver.
Earlier this week, he slammed Musalia Mudavadi, Cabinet Secretary Ministry of Diaspora and Foreign Affairs for siding with the United Republic of Tanzania, after Kenyans were detained and deported while trying to show solidarity with Tanzania’s chief opposition leader Tundu Lissu.
Sifuna said the move by Mudavadi was unimaginable, questioning President William Ruto where he sourced his cabinet leaders from, and criteria they used to access power.
Despite his political party Orange Democratic Party (ODM), signing a Joint Framework MOU to work with United Democratic Alliance (UDA), Sifuna has remained adamant on his political stand, alongside his colleague in ODM Embakasi East Member of Parliament (MP) Babu Owino, not failing to call out the regime and insisting that his party is not in government.
