Ruto told to emulate Kibaki and stop attacks on Uhuru Kenyatta over inheriting a poor state of the economy
Ruto told to emulate Kibaki and stop attacks on Uhuru Kenyatta over inheriting a poor state of the economy.
Thirdway Alliance party leader Ekuru Aukot has criticized President William Ruto for what he claims is his insistence on inheriting a poor state of the economy from former President Uhuru Kenyatta.
Ruto and his deputy, Rigathi Gachagua, have frequently been cited as claiming that they “inherited a dilapidated economy” from Mr. Kenyatta, urging Kenyans to be patient and give it more time before they notice a difference under the Kenya Kwanza administration.
However, the outspoken lawyer and former presidential aspirant claims that President Ruto’s administration should borrow a leaf from Kenya’s third president, the late Mwai Kibaki, who he claims was more concerned with changing the nation than whining about the conditions he inherited from President Daniel Moi.

“Let us stop making apologies for the government and the past problems. The difference between this administration and Kibaki’s is that Kibaki did not get stuck up on the fact that he inherited the Moi regime. He did not keep reminding us that Moi did this and that,” Dr. Aukot said on Thursday.
“The less you talk about Uhuru Kenyatta and his administration the more hope you give Kenyans that you are actually doing something about it,” he added.
He was speaking on Citizen TV’s Day Break show alongside Kiambu Governor Kimani Wamatangi and Nominated MP John Mbadi.
Governor Wamatangi had likened the country to an aircraft during take-off, saying it is still early to judge the performance of Ruto’s administration.
“There were things that were done differently and wrongly (after Kibaki left office),” Wamatangi said.
