Allies of President William Ruto from Ukambani have dismissed the latest survey by Trends and Insights for Africa (TIFA), which suggested waning confidence in the Kenya Kwanza administration.
Mwala MP and UDA National Organising Secretary Vincent Musyoka Kawaya said TIFA’s findings were no different from previous polls that had projected Azimio win in the last election.
“All other opinion polls before depicted Azimio as the winner,” Kawaya said.
On the political front, Kawaya lauded Ruto as an exceptional and sober leader implementing tough reforms even his predecessors avoided.
“Some of the things he is implementing are even in Vision 2030, but others failed to act because they feared unpopularity. I want to encourage our opponents — it will be so hard to unseat President William Ruto. And to my Kamba community, let us join hands with Ruto so that we form the next government together,” he said.
Kangundo MP and GGDP party leader Fabian Kyule polls would not distract them from serving the people.
“We are working with the government of President William Ruto, and we don’t care whether it’s popular or not,” he stated.
Kitui South MP Rachel Nyamai also dismissed the survey, saying Kenyans are already feeling the impact of Ruto’s reforms.
On the boda boda sector reforms, Kitui East MP Nimrod Mbai emphasised the need for riders to support reforms meant to restore order.
“Boda Boda SACCOs are key to instilling professionalism and weeding out criminal elements that tarnish the sector’s image. I urge all riders to embrace the new government regulations for the betterment and growth of this important industry,” Mbai said.
Kawaya also stressed that the regulations are meant to professionalise the sector and protect genuine operators.
“The new rules are not about punishment but about professionalism and safety for both riders and passengers. Riders must embrace licensing, insurance, and certificates of good conduct to protect genuine operators,” he said.
The leaders spoke during a boda boda empowerment drive at NYS Grounds, Yatta Constituency, hosted by area MP Amsatacia Muendo.
