Jubilee Party Secretary General Jeremiah Kioni has aimed at the opposition and the government, accusing them of failing Kenyans through divisive politics, selective justice, and misplaced priorities.
Speaking on Monday during an interview on Spice FM, Kioni said the opposition had reduced political engagement to rhetoric, name-calling, and personality attacks instead of offering solutions to national challenges. "We need to reduce personal attacks and focus on issues, including the solutions we can present when in power," Kioni said, warning that slogans such as Wantam are no different from past campaigns like Ruto Must Go. "The same leaders keep insulting each other while Kenyans remain stuck in the middle." He faulted the opposition for excluding leaders with diverse voices, citing former Interior Cabinet Secretary Fred Matiang'i as an example. "If all other leaders are free to seek the presidency, what is wrong with Matiang'i doing the same?
Bullying aspirants is unjust to Kenyans, who should decide their flagbearer," he argued.
Turning to the government, Kioni accused President William Ruto's administration of double standards in the war on corruption, alleging leniency towards Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua and Agriculture Cabinet Secretary Mithika Linturi. "The government has slowed down on Gachagua.
