Matiang'i Accuses Ruto of Misusing State House - August 2026

Jubilee Deputy Party Leader Dr. Fred Matiang'i has accused President William Ruto of misusing State House resources by hosting large delegations amid economic hardship for Kenyans. This accusation comes as President William Ruto ordered the elimination of the term "watchman" from all Kenyan government legal documents and policies, directing it be replaced with "security officer." Meanwhile, Kenya's Interior Cabinet Secretary Kipchumba Murkomen ordered the arrest of individuals impersonating police officers by wearing camouflage uniforms at political gatherings. The grouping connects political conflict over State House resources with related security and policy directives from the executive.
