Githunguri MP Gathoni Wamuchomba has openly mocked President William Ruto over his shifting stance on the Ford Foundation. This comes after the president’s earlier claims that the international organization had been funding the controversial Gen Z protests. Now, Ruto has turned heads by meeting with the Ford Foundation president, raising eyebrows across the political spectrum.
Wamuchomba, known for her bold stance on national issues, didn’t hold back. She questioned the president’s consistency. “Even if you want to trust and believe Ruto, will you really?” she asked sarcastically, in reference to his seemingly contradictory moves.

Her remarks struck a chord with many Kenyans who have been closely following the ongoing saga. In previous speeches, Ruto had linked the Ford Foundation to youth unrest in the country, especially during the Gen Z protests. He had even hinted that foreign interference was part of the growing instability in Kenya.
However, just days after those accusations, Ruto’s surprise meeting with the president of the Ford Foundation has puzzled many. The closed-door discussions were meant to address various development partnerships, but the timing has raised speculation about the president’s changing views.
Wamuchomba’s criticism reflects a wider concern within political circles. Some MPs have begun to question the president’s approach to international relations. For Wamuchomba, Ruto’s recent meeting sends mixed signals to the public. How can one trust a leader who, in her view, seems to say one thing and do the opposite?
As the debate rages on, Wamuchomba’s sharp remarks have added fuel to the fire, deepening the scrutiny on Ruto’s foreign policy and his relationship with powerful international organizations.
