Nyandarua Senator John Methu has caused a stir online after delivering a bold and cheeky jab aimed at President William Ruto, questioning his frequent criticism of former President Uhuru Kenyatta.
In his fiery statement, Methu took issue with Ruto’s tendency to blame Uhuru for underdevelopment in certain regions, arguing that the President should also reflect on his own past before pointing fingers.
“Wewe Ruto, kabla uulize mbona Uhuru hakujenga barabara Samburu, hata wewe tuambie mbona baba yako hakukununulia viatu,” said Senator Methu.
The senator’s sarcastic remarks have gone viral, sparking laughter and debate across social media platforms. Many Kenyans interpreted the comment as both humorous and daring, given the political sensitivity surrounding open criticism of the Head of State.
Political analysts suggest that Methu’s statement reflects growing frustration within certain political circles over Ruto’s repeated references to Uhuru’s administration. Some believe the senator’s outburst signals an emerging wave of politicians willing to challenge the President more openly.
While the comment drew applause from some online users who saw it as a “brutally honest” retort, others felt it was disrespectful and unnecessarily personal.
As reactions continue to pour in, Methu’s remarks have once again shown how Kenya’s political scene thrives on bold words and dramatic exchanges that keep citizens talking.
