Ekuro Akuot, a prominent figure in Kenyan politics, has criticized President William Ruto’s budget for the year 2023.
Akuot, while acknowledging that his remarks may generate both support and opposition, made bold claims about the origins and intentions of the budget, suggesting that it is a product of Ruto’s international backers from the United States and the United Kingdom.
Akuot stated that Ruto’s “toxic #Budget2023” is strategically designed to shock and awe Kenyans into submission while fulfilling three objectives that he believes are crucial to Ruto’s political aspirations. The first objective, according to Akuot, is to legitimize Ruto’s presidency, which has been a subject of controversy and suspicion even after the Supreme Court’s decision.
The second objective, as alleged by Akuot, is to assist Ruto and his government associates in sanitizing their allegedly ill-gotten wealth. Akuot questioned whether it should come as a surprise that the government is composed of individuals who portray themselves as hustlers but possess immense wealth.
Lastly, Akuot claimed that Ruto aims to gain moral authority through the implementation of the Financial Bill to seek re-election in 2027. Akuot emphasized that it is now the responsibility of Kenyans, as the supreme authority in the country, to respond and take charge of their nation.
The controversial statement by Akuot has sparked widespread discussion and debate among Kenyans, with supporters and critics expressing their opinions on social media and other platforms. Akuot concluded his statement with a warning, suggesting that his concerns should not be ignored.
