“Stop Selling Public Assets!” – United Opposition Warns Ruto Amidst Economic Distress
Opposition leaders have sharply criticized the government’s handling of national assets, election processes, and public welfare ahead of the holiday season, demanding immediate accountability and action.
Eugene Wamalwa, the DAP-K party leader, spoke to the press on Thursday and decried the ongoing privatization of critical national assets.
Safaricom, Kenya Pipeline Company (KPC), and Jomo Kenyatta International Airport (JKIA) all claimed that the sales were conducted without public participation.
Wamalwa expressed concern that JKIA had been “compromised and manipulated to favour a select few,” describing the process as a “quiet auctioning of our sovereignty.”

Wamalwa also cited court judgments against an opaque health-care arrangement with the United States and urged communities across the country to hold officials accountable, underlining the need to “defend our sovereignty.”
Regarding electoral integrity, Wamalwa expressed alarm about by-elections, accusing the government of widespread rigging.
“There are leaders who led these goons and financed the rigging,” he said.
“We saw Nabii Nabwera, Stanley Livondo, and former CS Echesa involved. IEBC had the powers to suspend that by-election but did nothing.”
He also sought action against the IEBC’s chairperson and CEO, blasting what he dubbed “Ruto-preneurship” and forecasting a “bleak Christmas” for Kenya.
The opposition accused the government of misusing resources during the protracted drought, claiming that humanitarian food was being used to sway voters.
“We are calling for urgent and immediate support from the county and national government to assist the affected regions,” Wamalwa added.
Former Vice President Kalonzo Musyoka expressed worry about the sale of public assets, emphasizing that such choices should involve residents.
“They are trying to sell public assets without public participation—without ‘We the People.’ There’s also confusion as we await exam results; the government is groping in the dark,” he said.
Former Deputy President and DCP party leader Rigathi Gachagua has termed the economic and social condition as catastrophic.
"Ruto wants to mislead Kenyans that the problem in our country is tribalism and disunity. The problem in Kenya is Ruto, and the solution is wantam!"

Gachagua noted that Kenyans “have nothing to celebrate” due to unpaid capitation and the deterioration of public services.
He criticized stalled infrastructure projects, including the Nairobi–Nakuru highway, and urged a “one-term solution” to address systemic challenges.
DP party leader Justin Muturi criticized President William Ruto’s administration for corruption and ineffective leadership, highlighting the Rironi–Mau Summit road project as a costly mismanagement case.

“The late cancellation of this project has come at a cost of Ksh6.5 billion. You cannot transform Kenya into Singapore while corruption remains the order of the day,” he said, calling for urgent reform.
