• The leaders said that with the apparent no solution to issues affecting Kenyans, Ruto’s team is turning out as uninspiring.

Azimio leaders in Parliament have castigated President William Ruto’s administration over unwarranted roadside declarations by government officials.

The MPs said the country has no leadership or direction at the height of crucial issues which needs the government’s intervention.

“The net total of the development we are witnessing is that the country is experiencing a serious leadership deficit,” the MPs said.

Nobody is giving appropriate direction on extremely critical issues like binding international contracts, aviation industry, and education.”

Minority leader Opiyo Wandayi was accompanied by MPs Junet Mohamed (Suna East), Lilian Gogo (Rangwe), Godfrey Osotsi (Vihiga Senator), Robert Mbui (Kathiani), and Irene Mayaka (Nominated).

The lawmakers called on Ruto to call his troops to order and stop the roadside declarations, citing remarks by Education CS Ezekiel Machogu on the effect of university funding.

Machogu, however, denied the assertions of the effect of funding cuts saying his statement was quoted out of context.

“We are calling out President Ruto and his administration. It is time to govern. It is time to lead. But we fear they never will,” the statement by Wandayi read.

The leaders said that with the apparent no solution to issues affecting Kenyans, Ruto’s team is turning out as uninspiring.

“We seem to be staring at a government that is a government in name only. Too early into this administration, we are staring at a leader and his team who have little to offer,” the MPs said.

We are certainly staring at the consequences of having a regime that lacks mandate and agenda. So far the UDA government is simply occupying space, not governing.”

They also took issue with Roads and Transport CS Kipchumba Murkomen for misleading Kenyans on the release of SGR contracts.
