Editor's Review

Speaking figuratively, the former head of state suggested that Kenya was being driven into a ditch.

Former president Uhuru Kenyatta is not convinced that Kenya is being steered well by the current Kenya Kwanza administration. 

Speaking in Kipipiri on Saturday, February 17, Uhuru revealed that he observes the happenings in the country's leadership and he is often taken aback. 

While juxtaposing his kind of leadership and that of President William Ruto, Uhuru stated that he was saddened.

"Nowadays I don't talk much. I just observe things. Sometimes I hold my head in astonishment. You wonder if should you cry or laugh, but you decide to love your country because it is home," said Uhuru.

Speaking figuratively, Uhuru faulted the Ruto administration for decrying past mistakes instead of focusing on their deliverables.

With too much whining on the side of the government, Uhuru said, Kenya would not end in its desired place.

"During my days in office, I used to advise leaders to focus. If you are the one on the steering wheel, you focus on the journey ahead, not looking at the rear-view mirror. You will land the vehicle in a ditch," he said.

He was addressing mourners at the funeral of the late Lucy Wanjiru Muhinga, wife of former Kipipiri Member of Parliament Amos Kimunya.
