NAIROBI, Kenya Jun 27 – Kiharu MP Ndindi Nyoro has asked Kenyans to give him three to four more weeks before he publicly declares his political direction, saying he wants to make a decision based on the country’s future rather than political pressure or personal popularity.
The former close ally of President William Ruto, who has since become one of the government’s fiercest critics on economic matters, said he has received overwhelming calls from Kenyans demanding clarity on where he stands politically ahead of the 2027 General Election.
“I have seen the overwhelming feedback from Kenyans, and I appreciate that many people want to hear my political position,” Nyoro said. “I request Kenyans to give me three to four weeks to share my specific views on political formations and the direction we need to take as a country.”
Nyoro admitted he can no longer be considered part of the Kenya Kwanza administration, insisting his public criticism of the government’s handling of the economy reflects that position.
“There is no way I can continue speaking the way I do about the economy if I was still supporting the government. We no longer support the government in the way it is running the affairs of the economy,” he said.
Nyoro, however, ruled out rushing into any political alliance, saying he wants to avoid repeating mistakes made in the past.
“This decision is not about my political convenience. It is about what Kenya will become. If I wanted popularity, I know exactly what I should say today and I would become a political sensation immediately. But after that, where do we leave Kenyans?” he posed.
While revealing that he remains friends with many leaders across the political divide, Nyoro said any future alliance would be guided by what is best for the country rather than personal relationships.
“I do not want to be in a situation where a government is formed and by December 2027 Kenyans are once again disappointed. The decision I make must be one I can defend for many years to come,” he said.
