Shock and anger continue to sweep across parts of Kenya after a fiery statement by Kisii Senator Richard Onyonka targeting President William Ruto over the controversial Ebola facility debate.
His remarks have quickly spread online, leaving many people talking and reigniting an already heated national conversation about leadership, public trust, and the country's future.
Speaking in a video that has attracted attention on social media, Onyonka accused President Ruto of allowing the Ebola project for the benefit of foreign interests.
He further claimed that a future government involving leaders such as Fred Matiang’i, Kalonzo Musyoka, Rigathi Gachagua, Babu Owino, and Edwin Sifuna would change how public resources are managed in Kenya. He ended his remarks with a bold declaration that "Ruto is going home."
The comments come at a time when the Ebola facility issue remains one of the most debated political topics in the country. President Ruto has repeatedly defended the project, saying it is aimed at strengthening disease preparedness and protecting lives. He has maintained that Kenya is working with international partners to improve its ability to respond to possible outbreaks.
However, the issue has continued to divide opinion across the country. Supporters appeared divided, with some defending the government's position while others questioned the need for the project and demanded more public participation. The incident sparked reactions online as Kenyans exchanged sharp views about national sovereignty, health security, and politics.
What happened next surprised many as Onyonka's comments gained traction beyond political circles, drawing reactions from ordinary citizens concerned about the country's direction ahead of future elections.
As the debate grows louder, one thing is clear: the Ebola controversy has become much bigger than a health issue. It is now a political battleground shaping public opinion across Kenya.
