A member of the National Executive Council of the UDA Party has accused President William Ruto of dramatically changing after he won the 2022 Presidential Elections.
Seth Panayako who is the secretary general of the Kenya National Union of Nurses says the president has ignored workers who he swore to represent.
He says the President was a caring leader ahead of the August polls and would listen to workers whenever there was an issue.
But in a press address, Panyako said the president has neglected workers and changed to be the opposite person they expected him to be.
"I don't believe I looked for votes for Ruto. He has changed dramatically. The workers are being overtaxed," Panyako said.

He said despite being a member of the UDA party, he remains committed to addressing issues of the Kenyan workers.

"We want a president who was you when you were the deputy president. I am a member of the National Executive Council of the UDA Party. I am the national deputy chair in charge of programmes. That cannot stop me from doing my work. I am employed by Kenyan workers. Silipwi na chama," Panyako said.
Panyako went on to warn that they will paralyse the entire government if the current regime does not listen to workers' grievances.
"We will paralyse the entire government from State House. We will switch off the electricity and close the water in the State House. As workers, we must be heard. MPs, please do not pass that Finance Bill 2023," he said.
The outrage comes in the wake of protests against the Financial Bill 2023 which workers union have termed as unfair.
