Gideon Moi Responds To Supporting Ruto’s Gov’t
The Kenya African National Union (KANU) party has denied allegations that its leader, former Baringo senator Gideon Moi, supports President William Ruto’s administration.
In a statement issued on Thursday, July 24, KANU addressed a circulating video implying that Gideon Moi supported the current regime.
The party strongly denied this claim, calling it misleading.
The party said that the film, which was recorded in 2021, before President Ruto entered power, was part of a propaganda effort.
They claim it is being used by the government to restore its positive image in the public eye.

Our attention has been drawn to a misleading video clip that has resurfaced on social media, falsely suggesting that Hon. Gideon Moi is currently aligning himself with the…
“The clip in question, recorded during the funeral of the late Hosea Kiplagat in 2021, has been stripped of its proper context and paired with a distorted transcription to deliberately mislead the public,” the party said.
“The calculated timing of this shallow and futile misinformation campaign to dupe the public is telling,” it added.
“It comes at a time when the government is rapidly losing public trust and grasping at anything, including fabricating alliances where none exist.”
KANU has confirmed that Gideon Moi has no intention of collaborating with the administration, emphasizing that his political alliances are formed through formal party processes.
The party has also stated that it will disclose its next political move in due time.
“Fundamental decisions about political alliances are sanctioned through structured party processes, collectively by the leadership and membership of the party,” the party said.
“Until such a time the party leadership and membership make a determination on our next political course and affiliation, Gideon Moi stays put,” it added.
The statement comes a day after Martha Karua, the People’s Liberation Party leader, stated that she spoke with former Prime Minister Raila Odinga.

Karua acknowledged, encouraging him to withdraw his support for President Ruto’s administration.
In an interview with NTV on Wednesday, July 23, Karua said that she had pushed the Orange Democratic Movement (ODM) leader to do so, noting the deaths during protests.
“After Saba Saba, I called him again, this time to ask him a question,” Karua said.
“I asked him, as a person who has, throughout most of his life, fought for Kenyans, how his conscience sits with the continuous blood-letting by the Kenya Kwanza (KK) regime.”
