President William Ruto launched a scathing verbal attack on Nairobi Senator Edwin Sifuna, cautioning ordinary citizens, particularly small-scale traders known as Mama Mbogas, against supporting or financially contributing to the lawmaker’s initiatives.
The Head of State characterized Sifuna as a dangerous political figure who relies on systemic extortion to fund a lavish lifestyle in the capital city.
Speaking during a public address, President Ruto painted a vivid contrast between the struggles of everyday hustle workers and what he framed as the hypocritical habits of opposition figures.
He warned local market women and small business owners against giving away their hard-earned money to the senator, alleging that Sifuna spends time in Nairobi consuming high-end, premium liquor featuring double names such as Johnnie Walker.
The President argued that hard-working Kenyans should not be tricked into financing politicians who enjoy expensive social habits while claiming to speak for the poor.
Escalating his criticism, President Ruto labeled the Nairobi Senator a major extortionist whose operations target a wide range of individuals and institutions.
According to the Head of State, the lawmaker’s predatory practices extend beyond everyday market vendors to include county governors and potential economic investors.
Ruto asserted that such conduct undermines governance and paralyzes vital investments across the country.
The fiery remarks mark a significant escalation in political hostility between the national executive and opposition leaders.
By directly targeting Sifuna’s credibility among grassroot business communities, President Ruto sought to weaken the senator’s political standing and isolate him from key voter bases.
The sharp exchanges reflect a growing polarization in national politics as leaders clash over economic policies and political accountability ahead of future electoral battles.
