Kiharu MP Ndindi Nyoro has issued a scathing assessment of the current political landscape, claiming that Kenya’s Parliament no longer has a functioning opposition. Speaking during a heated session, Nyoro argued that the lines between government supporters and those who were once critics have completely disappeared.
“In Parliament today, there is no opposition. There is no difference between those who were supporting and opposing the government,” Nyoro declared, insisting that elected leaders have abandoned their duty to provide checks and balances.
The outspoken MP said he is prepared to stand alone if necessary, vowing to speak up for what he believes is right even if it means isolating himself politically.
“Even if I will be the only solitary voice in Kenya to stand for the right thing, I will do it and pay the price,” he said.
Nyoro’s remarks come at a time when the political landscape is shifting rapidly, with coalition realignments and bipartisan cooperation blurring traditional divides. Critics argue that the absence of a strong opposition weakens accountability and gives the executive unchecked power. Supporters of cooperation, however, claim the unity is necessary for stability and national development.
Nyoro’s bold declaration adds a dramatic layer to the ongoing debate about the role of Parliament, political loyalty, and the future of Kenya’s democratic space.
