Narok Senator Ledama Ole Kina has slammed President William Ruto for holding frequent luncheons at State House, asserting that such meetings are not beneficial to the economy.
In a statement on his official X account on Wednesday, September 3, Ole Kina claimed that President William Ruto should refrain from holding such meetings at the State House in the next 100 days and instead shift to virtual meetings.
Ole Kina, who termed the meetings as "politics of plates," said that they are a waste of taxpayers' money, and the expenses incurred on bus rides, per diems, and buffets should instead be shifted to other development projects across the country. "You may not like what I have to say, but I'll say it anyway: State House lunches [equals] waste of public funds.
Bus rides, per diems, and buffets don't build roads or jobs," Ole Kina stated.
