“We do not hate you, but you have failed to deliver,” Sifuna said, a statement that immediately raised eyebrows and reignited debate over the government’s performance.
The remarks have added fresh pressure on Ruto, whose administration has faced growing criticism over the cost of living, employment, taxation and the delivery of key promises made to Kenyans.
Sifuna’s message was not framed as personal hatred. Instead, it appeared to draw a line between political disagreement and the expectations citizens have from the government they elected.
That distinction could resonate with many Kenyans who continue to debate whether the government has done enough to address the challenges affecting ordinary households.
