Opposition leaders led by People’s Party of Kenya (PPK) leader Ndindi Nyoro and Jubilee Party leader Fred Matiang’i have accused President William Ruto’s administration of misappropriating public resources, including public land and the country’s mineral wealth, allegedly for the benefit of individuals.
Addressing a public rally in Narok Town after attending a church service at Dominion Chapel Ministries International in Olerai, Narok County, the leaders said they would revoke licenses awarded to what they described as proxies benefiting from Kenya’s natural resources after they take power after the 2027 General Election.
They said their priority is ensure that the country’s mineral wealth benefits Kenyans and contributes to national development rather than enriching a few individuals.
Nyoro said mining remains a major economic asset for Kenya, calling on the government to make public information on all mining sites in the country.
He argued that the mining sector should be operated as a national economic enterprise whose benefits are shared by Kenyans, rather than being controlled for the benefit of specific individuals.
The opposition leaders also accused President Ruto of disrespecting retired President Uhuru Kenyatta, claiming that the former president has been subjected to insults and attacks.
They said leaders seeking respect must also extend the same respect to former heads of state, while pledging to continue working together and traverse the country as they seek public support for their political agenda ahead of the 2027 elections, saying they will produce a single presidential candidate to face of President Ruto and ensure he is a one term president.
On the rising concern over illicit brews and education, Nyoro accused the government of failing to effectively address the spread of second-generation alcohol, which he said has become a major social problem.
He also criticized the proposed Tertiary Education, Placement and Funding Bill, 2026, saying it would increase the financial burden on university students and their families, and vowed that his party would oppose the Bill in its current form.
Jubilee Party leader Fred Matiang’i, meanwhile, called for the protection of all Kenyans regardless of their community or place of residence.
Matiang’i said Kenyans should be free to invest, work and settle anywhere in the country without intimidation or discrimination on ethnic grounds, while expressing concern over what he described as the suppression of some communities and inadequate security in parts of the country.
