Esther Passaris has criticised former President Uhuru Kenyatta over what she perceives as lingering political grievances affecting national interests.
In a recent statement, Passaris said:
“Bado ako na machungu ya kushindwa na William Ruto, he hasn’t moved on. Now he is on a mission to get Ruto out of power, how does this help Kenyans?”
She argued that Kenyatta’s focus on opposing President Ruto is driven by personal disappointment rather than the public good, questioning whether such a mission serves the interests of ordinary Kenyans. Passaris suggested that national leadership should prioritise governance, development, and unity over personal political vendettas.
The comments have drawn attention in political circles, highlighting ongoing debates about the motivations and strategies of Kenya’s political elite. Supporters of Passaris say her remarks underline the need for leaders to put citizens first, while critics may view the statement as politically charged commentary amid heightened rivalry between political camps.
Her intervention adds to the broader discourse on political accountability, leadership priorities, and the impact of personal grievances on national decision-making in Kenya.
