Put differences aside and support Ruto; ODM MP to Uhuru Kenyatta
Nairobi Woman Representative Esther Passaris has urged former President Uhuru Kenyatta to support President William Ruto administration
Nairobi Woman Representative Esther Passaris has urged former President Uhuru Kenyatta to support President William Ruto administration.
Speaking on Wednesday, March 5, Passaris said Uhuru’s backing is crucial for Kenya’s progress or else it won’t be progressive.
“It is very important for a former president to support the current president because if he (Uhuru) doesn’t do that, our government won’t be progressive,” she stated.
Passaris acknowledged Uhuru’s close ties with ODM leader Raila Odinga, hoping that like Raila, Uhuru would set differences aside for the nation’s benefit.
“But because I know that he is close with Baba (Raila) and Baba is someone who looks at ways to make Kenya move forward, I would ask Uhuru to put differences aside and prioritize Kenya and how it can be progressive,” she said.
Passaris further reminded Uhuru of his position as Kenya’s only living former president, urging him to bring together key leaders, including Ruto and Raila, to foster national unity.
“You are the only living past President of Kenya; you have huge investments and family in this country. You can sit down with Ruto, Raila, and people of like mind to drive this country in the right direction,” she added.

This call comes about four months after Ruto visited Uhuru at his home in Gatundu.
The meeting on December 9, 2024, came barely a month after the two met in Embu during the Installation of Bishop-Elect Peter Kimani Ndung’u as the Catholic Bishop of the Embu Diocese.
Ruto, Deputy President Kithure Kindiki, and former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua were also among the attendees.
In his speech, Uhuru emphasized the need for unity and an end to tribalism in Kenya, urging mutual respect between leaders and citizens.
“Let us pray for peace in Kenya. Let us pray for cooperation between Kenyan citizens and leaders. Let us stop tribalism and let us love each other. If a leader respects the people and their wishes, the people will respect them back a hundredfold,” he said.
