Kangema MP Peter Kihungi with Lands CS Alice Wahome during a consultative meeting in Kangema on October 24, 2026/ ALICE WAITHERA Lands Cabinet Secretary Alice Wahome has urged retired President Uhuru Kenyatta to stop criticising President William Ruto, accusing him of fighting his successor instead of allowing him to govern.
Wahome argued that Kenyatta, having served two terms as president, should support the sitting Head of State rather than engage in political battles ahead of the 2027 General Election.
“There is no need for a retired president to fight a sitting president because at no time will he be elected again,” she noted.
Speaking during a consultative forum for community health promoters and village elders from Kangema and Kahuro sub-counties, Wahome defended Ruto’s leadership, arguing that his record in government would make it difficult for his political rivals to defeat him.
