Karua Leads Opposition Pride To Roar Against Ruto Over ‘Cartel’ Adani
Karua stated that the company’s tarnished reputation does not instill confidence in Kenyans.
The leaders also delivered a harsh critique of President William Ruto’s two-year term, accusing him of breaking promises made during his re-election campaign.
The leaders raised the stakes on the controversial Government-Adani dealings by delivering what they called a “State of the Nation” address in a 13-page speech critical of Ruto’s two years in office.
These transactions have been chastised both within and outside government circles due to their secrecy and Adani’s infamous reputation.
The leaders argued that the deals would have no positive outcome, implying that deeper issues were at stake.
“Adani is the face of a cartel that includes top leadership. It is not just about Adani; you saw what the Guptas did in South Africa,” said Mukhisa Kituyi.
While praising President Ruto’s administration, the leaders claimed that the government’s actions contradicted the lofty promises made before the 2022 election.
They accused Ruto of breaking promises, citing abductions and arbitrary arrests as examples of failure to reform the criminal justice system.
They also criticized the delayed disbursement of funds to counties, claiming that it ignores devolved units, and accused the government of borrowing recklessly, contradicting the promise of a self-sustaining economy, while corruption persists.
“A conviction rate of 12.7% for corruption cases is a travesty of justice. It sends a chilling message that those who rob public coffers do so with impunity, shielded by networks of complicity,” said Karua.
“When the youth stood up against this regime, they were killed, abducted, and suppressed. All our youth are at risk in the hands of this regime,” added Thirdway Alliance Leader Ekuru Aukot.
The leaders condemned the removal of Judge Lawrence Mugambi’s security officers.
They also urged the National Police Service Commission to immediately address the behavior of convicted police boss Gilbert Masengeli.
“The National Police Service Commission should sanction Masengeli.
They are asleep and should not take our money for work not done,” Karua noted.
Aukot added, “When police officers who are supposed to enforce court orders disobey them, what are we looking at? A jungle country, anarchy.”
The leaders also accused Kenya’s Kwanza government of imperialism, citing corruption scandals involving fertilizer and edible oils that they claim only benefit the ruling elite.
“We must declare that enough is enough,” stated Kituyi.
