Likewise, the party, while comparing Ruto’s regime to former President Uhuru Kenyatta, noted that Ruto lacks competent individuals who can run the Ministry of Health.
“Uhuru Kenyatta did not have to speak about health matters because he had Mutahi Kagwe, Nancy Mwangangi, and Patrick Amoth, competent individuals who ran the ministry,” DCP stated.
The Party, while criticizing Ruto, further accused him of constantly talking about SHIF and SHA because he does not have competent individuals running the docket and addressing such matters.
“Today Ruto is the one singing SHIF SHA because he doesn’t have anyone competent there. Uhuru did not have to speak about education; God knows if he knew anything in that ministry,” DCP said.
Ministry of Education
On the other hand, the party whose boss is former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua further slammed Ruto for slowing down the Ministry of Education while accusing him of delaying examination outcomes.
While praising Uhuru’s regime, the party recalled how the former head of state did not need to constantly address the country since he had leaders who, according to the party, commanded respect by themselves.
“It did not matter because George Magoha had things under control. Today, exams are released after public outcry, let alone no money for capitation. Uhuru did not have to address the country every now and then because Matiangi and Kibicho commanded respect by themselves,” the DCP said.
The party also added, “When they spoke, everyone felt the government had spoken. Uhuru’s strength was his cabinet. Uhuru’s cabinet was so efficient that he did not have to appear in public every time, thus retaining the respectable status of head of state.”
“Ruto is everywhere doing everything, becoming common and losing respect. Instead of Ruto chasing transformation, he is all over chasing PR. No wonder all these setbacks in his government,” DCP added.
Further adding, “Ruto made us think that Uhuru was not SMART, but to date we can confirm that they were unable to stay together because Uhuru was much SMARTER than Ruto, and Ruto pretended to be SMARTER than Uhuru,” DCP wrote.
