Wiper party leader Kalonzo Musyoka has strongly dismissed allegations linking him to the alleged grabbing of National Youth Service (NYS) land, terming the claims politically motivated and misleading.
The former Vice President was responding to remarks attributed to President William Ruto, who had suggested that Kalonzo was implicated in past concerns over public land ownership linked to the NYS.
In a firm rebuttal, Kalonzo maintained that he was at all times cleared by investigative agencies following a detailed probe into the matter. He said the findings of the investigations did not produce any evidence connecting him to the disputed parcel of land, adding that attempts to revive the allegations were meant to tarnish his political reputation.
“I have never been involved in any land grabbing scandal whatsoever,” Kalonzo emphasized, insisting that the issue had long been settled through official investigative processes.
He further noted that public records and prior inquiries had absolved him of any wrongdoing, urging political leaders to refrain from making statements that could mislead the public or revive already concluded matters.
Kalonzo also criticized what he termed as a growing trend of using public platforms to make unverified accusations against political opponents, warning that such actions undermine trust in state institutions and distract from national priorities.
The Wiper leader reiterated his commitment to constitutionalism and accountability, stating that he remains open to scrutiny but will not accept what he described as “baseless and recycled accusations.”
The latest exchange adds to ongoing political tensions between opposition figures and the government, as leaders continue to trade accusations over governance, land issues, and past administrative decisions.
Political analysts note that such disputes are likely to intensify as the country edges closer to the next electoral cycle, with leaders seeking to solidify their support bases through public messaging and political positioning.
