Allies of President William Ruto have countered claims by former President Uhuru Kenyatta that Kenya is regressing. Deputy President Kithure Kindiki defended the Ruto administration's projects, including the new Social Health Authority (SHA), asserting it aims to serve more citizens.

• DP Kithure Kindiki criticized those questioning government decisions, stating they "shouldn't lie."
• Kindiki highlighted the replacement of the Linda Mama program with SHA and credited Ruto with strengthening the shilling against the dollar.
• The remarks came after Kenyatta, addressing the Jubilee National Delegates Conference, accused Ruto of dismantling key Jubilee-era programs, leading to suffering and stalled progress.
• Saboti MP Caleb Amisi also accused Kenyatta of being "part and parcel of the current mess in Kenya" for bringing William Ruto to power.
