Nyoro Accuses Ruto Of Putting Kenya's Assets At Risk, Reveals Opposition 2027 Plan

By Fredrick Kioko 

People’s Party of Kenya (PPK) leader Ndindi Nyoro has accused President William Ruto’s administration of putting public resources at risk, calling for stronger protection of Kenya’s assets and mineral wealth.

Speaking during a public rally in Kathiani, Machakos County, Nyoro said the country’s natural resources belong to Kenyans and should be safeguarded for the benefit of present and future generations.

Nyoro alleged that President Ruto’s visit to New York for the 2026 United Nations General Assembly was linked to efforts to sell government assets, particularly the country’s mineral resources. He did not provide evidence to substantiate the claim.

The PPK leader also criticised the government over insecurity in parts of the country, citing the situation in Samburu. He said the government has a responsibility to protect every Kenyan and called for stronger measures to address insecurity affecting communities.

On the 2027 General Election, Nyoro called on the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) to demonstrate its preparedness to conduct a free and fair election.

He urged Kenyans to closely monitor the electoral process and remain vigilant during the polls, insisting that every vote must be protected and that the final outcome should reflect the will of the people.

Nyoro also defended retired President Uhuru Kenyatta, urging the current administration to stop blaming its predecessor for the country’s challenges.

He said the Ruto administration should take responsibility for its own record in government rather than repeatedly attributing economic and governance problems to the previous administration.

The PPK leader further praised former Vice President Kalonzo Musyoka, saying he had learnt a great deal from the veteran politician and continued to hold him in high regard.

Nyoro said opposition leaders would continue working with Kalonzo and other like-minded leaders ahead of the 2027 General Election, with the objective of mounting a political challenge to the Ruto administration.

On education, Nyoro accused the government of undermining the sector and pledged that an opposition administration would make education free up to secondary school level beginning January 2028.

He also raised concerns over Kenya’s growing public debt, questioning how government loans were being utilised.

According to Nyoro, the increasing debt burden has not translated into sufficient visible development projects across the country. He further alleged that public borrowing was benefiting individuals instead of ordinary Kenyans, calling for greater accountability in the management of borrowed funds.
