Former President Uhuru Kenyatta has once again found himself at the center of political controversy, just days after close ally to President William Ruto, Farouk Kibet, urged him to retire peacefully and stay away from active politics.
Speaking during a public event in Malava, Kakamega County, Kibet accused the former Head of State of engaging in unnecessary political activities instead of focusing on uniting Kenyans and enjoying his retirement.
He warned that Uhuru’s continued involvement in political matters could reignite divisions and destabilize the nation’s peace and unity.
However, the criticism did not end there. Homabay Town Member of Parliament, Honorable Peter Kaluma, has also taken a swipe at the former president, demanding accountability for the trillions of shillings borrowed during his tenure.

Kaluma questioned how the over KSh 10 trillion in loans obtained from foreign nations was utilized, claiming that Kenyans are yet to see tangible development projects reflecting such massive borrowing.
“The former president should come out clearly and explain to Kenyans where the over ten trillion shillings went. We are still repaying those loans, yet there is little to show for it,” said Kaluma.
The renewed attacks have reignited debates about Uhuru Kenyatta’s legacy, particularly his administration’s heavy borrowing and growing national debt.
Analysts argue that while Uhuru has a right to participate in politics as a citizen, his actions continue to draw mixed reactions from both supporters and critics.
As tensions rise, it remains to be seen whether the former president will respond to the latest accusations or maintain his usual silence amid growing political pressure.
