Sunday, August 23, 2026 - Nairobi Senator Edwin Sifuna has taken a swipe at President William Ruto for alleging that former President Uhuru Kenyatta is funding the Linda Mwananchi movement.
In a Facebook post on Sunday, August 23, Sifuna dismissed Ruto’s remarks as baseless, saying the President had failed to provide any credible evidence to support his claims.
His comments followed a newspaper
interview in which Ruto was challenged to substantiate his repeated assertions
that Uhuru was sponsoring opposition figures positioning themselves against him
ahead of the 2027 General Election.
According to Sifuna, Ruto admitted that his only source was media reports.
“That guy who supposedly holds all of Kenya’s intellectual
capital was asked a very simple question, to provide evidence that Uhuru is the
sponsor of the opposition, and he said he only read about it in the newspaper…
yet he claims we are the fools,” Sifuna wrote.
Ruto recently publicly accused Uhuru of
bankrolling candidates seeking to challenge his re‑election bid, claiming his
predecessor was envious of achievements in housing, healthcare, and education.
Ruto maintained that his administration had distributed development equitably across all regions and dismissed calls for him to serve only one term, terming them tribal.
