Respect Uhuru — Jubilee Party Fires Warning Shot at Ruto
By Jeff Kizzilah
The Jubilee Party has issued a strong warning to President William Ruto, urging him and his allies to accord due respect to former President Uhuru Kenyatta amid rising political tensions.
Speaking during a press conference, Jubilee Party presidential candidate Fred Matiang’i called on President Ruto to rein in his supporters and ensure that the former Head of State is treated with dignity.
“President Ruto must behave and take responsibility for the conduct of his leaders. The continued attacks and disrespect directed at former President Uhuru Kenyatta are unacceptable and undermine the values of leadership and unity in our country,” said Matiang’i.
The Jubilee Party emphasized that Uhuru Kenyatta, as a former President, deserves honor and recognition for his service to the nation, warning that sustained political hostility could deepen divisions and destabilize the country’s political environment.
Matiang’i further urged leaders across the political divide to exercise restraint and focus on issues affecting ordinary Kenyans, rather than engaging in personal attacks and political antagonism.
The party reaffirmed its commitment to fostering national unity, respect for leadership institutions, and constructive political engagement as Kenya continues to navigate its democratic path.
