Opposition leaders in Kenya, including DAP-K party leader Eugene Wamalwa, Former Vice President Kalonzo Musyoka, Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua, and DP party leader Justin Muturi, have launched strong criticisms against the government concerning alleged privatization of national assets without public consultation, electoral integrity issues, and economic mismanagement ahead of the festive season.

• Wamalwa condemned the privatization of assets like Safaricom, Kenya Pipeline Company (KPC), and Jomo Kenyatta International Airport (JKIA), calling it a "quiet auctioning of our sovereignty."
• Concerns were raised over alleged "heavy rigging" in by-elections and the misuse of relief food, with calls for the IEBC to take action against involved individuals.
• The Nairobi–Nakuru Highway and Rironi–Mau Summit road project (which incurred a cost of Ksh6.5 billion for late cancellation) were cited as examples of stalled infrastructure and costly mismanagement.
