President William Ruto is facing renewed scrutiny after a resurfaced video of his past remarks on constitutional reform sparked debate across political circles.
The footage, recorded while Ruto was Deputy President under President Uhuru Kenyatta, shows him traveling across the country warning Kenyans about the government’s misplaced priorities.
In the video, Ruto criticized the Jubilee administration for focusing on constitutional amendments that, according to him, aimed primarily at creating posts for political allies.
He emphasized that Kenya did not suffer from leadership or tribal issues but from deeper structural challenges, notably property disputes and economic mismanagement.

Fast-forward to the present, Ruto’s ally, Musalia Mudavadi, who now serves as a key figure in his administration, publicly called for constitutional amendments.
Mudavadi proposed the creation of a Prime Minister and a Leader of Opposition role, arguing that such changes would provide clarity in leadership and strengthen governance.
The timing of Mudavadi’s suggestion has placed President Ruto in a delicate position. Unlike his vocal stance in the past, the President has remained silent on the proposal, prompting political analysts to question whether this signals a shift in his approach or an acknowledgment of the political sensitivities involved.
Observers note the irony of the situation, highlighting that Ruto’s earlier warnings against altering the constitution to favor politicians now contrast sharply with the current push by his own ally.
Social media platforms have been abuzz with reactions, with many Kenyans debating the consistency of the President’s position on constitutional reform.
As discussions on governance and leadership roles intensify, political watchers say the President’s next move on Mudavadi’s proposal could influence both his public image and his administration’s legislative agenda.
