Nairobi Senator Edwin Sifuna declared in the Senate that the opposition aims to remove President William Ruto's government and reinstate merit-based systems, prioritizing cuts to state spending in the first 100 days to fund teachers and healthcare.
Ruto responded sharply during his September 9 Bomet County visit, accusing Sifuna of lacking direction while making emotional pledges like KSh 2 million for a sick attendee. The exchange underscores rising tensions ahead of the 2027 elections, with both sides rallying supporters amid talks of opposition alliances.
