Led by party Secretary-General John Methu during a tour of Kajiado County, the leaders claimed the government was feeling the heat from the opposition and had resorted to personal attacks instead of issue-based politics.

They seized the opportunity to lash out at the Kenya Kwanza administration, accusing President William Ruto of promoting hate politics through insults, name-calling and what they termed misplaced anger.

The legislators also faulted the President over what they described as misplaced priorities and a deteriorating economy.

“Alituambia hii serikali ni ya mama mboga. Kuna mtu wa mama mboga ako kwa serikali? Kuna mtu wa bodaboda ako kwa serikali?” Methu noted.
