Githunguri MP Gathoni Wamuchomba criticized President William Ruto for his lavish visit involving nine helicopters to address her opposition to the Finance Bill 2023.

• Nine helicopters were used for a visit that is only a 12-minute drive from Nairobi.
• Wamuchomba claims the visit was more about lecturing her than engaging in dialogue.
• The visit highlights tensions within the ruling coalition and raises concerns about how dissent is handled in Kenyan politics.

Wajir Woman Representative Fatuma Abdi Jehow has sparked outrage for suggesting that MPs from North Eastern Kenya would rig the 2027 elections in favor of President William Ruto during a public event on July 12, 2025.

• Jehow claimed lawmakers would support the President, stating, “even if it means stealing votes.”
• The remarks have generated backlash, with many condemning them as an endorsement of electoral fraud.
• Criticism has also emerged over her perceived hypocrisy, as she made the comments while dressed in full religious attire.
