President William Ruto has appeared to respond to remarks made by retired President Uhuru Kenyatta during a funeral service in Nairobi on Wednesday, November 11.
Uhuru Kenyatta had told mourners that whenever he visits the village and shares porridge with residents, he listens to their conversations and gets the impression that Kenyans have already made up their minds.
Responding to the remarks, Ruto referred to Uhuru as the sponsor and questioned the opinions he was gathering from members of the public.
“I heard the Sponsor saying that he had been going around where porridge is served, claiming that people had already made up their minds. Get opinions from sober people. Get information from people who haven’t been drinking alcohol,” Ruto said.
His remarks appeared to take a swipe at Uhuru’s comments, adding another exchange between the two leaders amid growing political activity ahead of the 2027 General Election.
