UDA chairman Johnson Muthama has told off President William Ruto's critics saying they are hyperventilating for nothing.
Speaking on Thursday, Muthama called on opposition leaders to give the President time to put his house in order.
"These people are just hyper for nothing, they just feel restless and they want to tell Kenyans Ruto is failing, he's not doing what he said but in how many days and with who? Because they expected him to move there and start sacking people."
The United Democratic Alliance party chairman said it's been barely a month since the President took office yet some people have began labeling him as a failure.
He said Ruto needs time to form his government and lay down strategies and adopt the tactics of implementing the same strategies before Kenyans can feel the change.
"Let's face the truth, Ruto was sworn in about three weeks ago. He's yet to swear in his ministers. He's yet to swear in his principal secretaries. He is yet to cover all departments with the choice of people he wants to work with," Muthama said.
His remarks follow a series of attacks by Azimio la Umoja One Kenya Alliance leaders who have been calling out Ruto for not living up to his words.
The opposition leaders claim the President made many promises during campaigns and he is yet to fulfill any of them.
In September, Azimio principal Kalonzo Musyoka said Ruto had failed to reducing the cost of living.
He accused the President of using the sorry state of the economy to assure Kenyans paradise, but none of his pledges have come to fruition.
"The first campaign promise was to the lowering of the cost of living. From day one, all costs associated with basic living have gone up. The price of unga and the cost of electricity are beyond the ordinary wananchi's reach. These ore matters we feel should take pre-eminence in these early days," Kalonzo said.
"Just like there was the rush to subsidise fertiliser on September 19, the same urgency should have first and foremost been applied to the rapidly rising cost of living," Kalonzo added.
