Fearless Senator Heckles Ruto, Tells Kamba Residents to Demand KSh 3,000 Before Attending UDA Rally

Fearless Nyandarua Senator John Methu has taken a swipe at President William Ruto, mocking his political activities in Ukambani and urging residents not to attend UDA rallies unless they are paid KSh 3,000.

In a sharp political attack, Methu claimed that Ruto had turned to the Ukambani region, suggesting that the President was seeking political support in an area where his popularity has faced questions.

The senator’s remarks appeared to challenge the mobilisation strategies employed by the ruling United Democratic Alliance (UDA) ahead of Ruto’s political engagements in the region.

Methu urged Kamba residents to demand payment before attending the President’s rally, in a statement that could further intensify the political rivalry between government allies and opposition leaders as the country edges closer to the 2027 General Election.

His comments also add to the growing debate over political mobilisation in Kenya, where opposition figures have repeatedly questioned whether crowds attending government rallies represent genuine public support or are influenced by financial incentives.

Ukambani remains an important political battleground as leaders from both sides seek to consolidate their support ahead of the next General Election.

While Ruto and his allies continue efforts to strengthen UDA’s presence across the country, opposition politicians have intensified their criticism of the President’s re-election ambitions.

Methu’s latest remarks are likely to spark fresh debate among supporters of the ruling party and the opposition, particularly over the question of whether political rallies should be driven by genuine enthusiasm or financial inducements.
