Opposition leaders including Kalonzo Musyoka, Rigathi Gachagua, and Dr. Fred Matiang'i have accused President Ruto of unfairly targeting the retired President in his ongoing political disputes. Meanwhile, Interior Cabinet Secretary Kipchumba Murkomen has pledged that the government will uphold peace and security as the nation gears up for the 2027 General Election.
