Opposition leaders, including former Interior Cabinet Secretary Fred Matiang’i, have expressed skepticism about President William Ruto’s ability to fulfill his campaign promises and are urging Kenyans to reject his re-election bid in 2027.

• Matiang’i warned that a second term for President Ruto would exacerbate issues in sectors like health and education, citing concerns over the Social Health Authority (SHA) and opportunities for the well-connected.
• The opposition's agenda includes reintroducing Uhuru Kenyatta-era policies, such as the Linda Mama programme, and reforming health insurance for teachers and police officers.
• Former Attorney General Justin Muturi raised concerns about the government's handling of Kenyans being recruited for foreign jobs, including some reportedly fighting in the Russian army, leading to at least three deaths.
• Matiang'i alleged that Sh17 billion allocated for teacher insurance is controlled by "two highly placed people" in the national government.
