Opposition leaders, including former Interior Cabinet Secretary Fred Matiang’i, have expressed skepticism about President William Ruto’s ability to fulfill his 2022 campaign promises. They are urging Kenyans to reject his re-election bid in 2027, claiming a second term would worsen existing challenges in health and education sectors.

• Matiang’i warned that a second term for Ruto would lead to continued issues like Social Health Authority (SHA) inconveniences and limited opportunities for ordinary citizens.
• The opposition proposes a return to Uhuru Kenyatta-era policies, such as the Linda Mama programme, and reforms in healthcare and education, including moving teachers and police from the SHA to comprehensive medical cover.
• Former Attorney General Justin Muturi raised concerns about the government's handling of foreign job agents, alleging that a lack of clear communication has left Kenyans vulnerable to recruitment into foreign armies, with at least three Kenyans confirmed dead fighting in Ukraine.
