A Kenyan lawmaker criticized former President Uhuru Kenyatta for publicly attacking his successor William Ruto during a political gathering. Taveta representative John Bwire said the former leader should offer counsel through private meetings rather than public forums. The Wiper party member compared Kenyatta unfavorably to retired President Mwai Kibaki, who avoided public criticism of other officials. Bwire urged respect for the presidential office.
Kenyatta had addressed delegates at a Jubilee Party conference where he questioned government policies and claimed his administration's programs faced reversal. The former president expressed concerns about security forces confronting citizens during recent demonstrations. He called for leadership to listen to young voices instead of using force against protesters. Kenyatta described his remarks as constructive guidance for the current administration.
