The Pentecostal Voices of Kenya (PVK) have strongly criticized President William Ruto and his government over the proposed Religious Organization Amendment Bill 2024, which they claim is an attempt to curtail the church's freedom.

• The PVK, speaking on December 13, 2025, demanded the complete scrapping of the Bill, which they view as a strategy to silence religious organizations and NGOs.
• PVK Secretary General Habil Olembo stated the government is enacting "draconian bills and regulations that trump on the freedom of worship and muzzle the church."
• The Bill seeks to establish an Advisory Board and a Registrar of Religious Organisations, requiring new organizations to have at least 25 members and endorsement from an Umbrella Religious Organisation, while prohibiting political activities.

Wiper Party leader Kalonzo Musyoka has strongly criticized President William Ruto's plan to raise Ksh5 trillion through new financial mechanisms, claiming it threatens Kenya’s constitutional fiscal principles. He argues that the proposed measures would bypass transparency and parliamentary oversight.

• Kalonzo Musyoka stated that Ruto's plan for a Sovereign Wealth Fund (SWF) and a National Infrastructure Fund (NIF) contradicts constitutional principles of transparency, parliamentary oversight, and equitable distribution of fiscal responsibilities.
• The criticism followed Ruto's announcement of the funds during the Jamhuri Day celebrations on December 12, 2025, at Nairobi's Nyayo National Stadium.
• Musyoka warned that seeking to mobilize Ksh5 trillion through these instruments risks eroding fiscal prudence and democratic accountability by bypassing established public finance procedures.
• The Cabinet is expected to consider approving both the SWF and NIF on December 15, 2025.

Former Cabinet Secretary Moses Kuria has criticized President William Ruto's administration for prioritizing infrastructure projects over job creation, particularly for young people. His remarks followed Ruto's Jamhuri Day announcements of major road developments.

• Moses Kuria stated that while expressways are beneficial, serious attention is needed for "meaningful job creation driven by the private sector" to accommodate the "1.1 million" expected job seekers from KJSEA graduates in three years.
• President Ruto announced plans to construct a 60-kilometre expressway from Nairobi City to Thika Town, with construction anticipated to begin in 2026, alongside upgrades to the Jomo Kenyatta International Airport (JKIA) highway and ongoing projects like the Nairobi-Nakuru-Mau Summit Road (A8).
• Kuria, who resigned as President Ruto's economic advisor months earlier, has become a government critic, despite some opposition leaders suggesting he still maintains ties.
