Speaking during the Jubilee Party’s National Delegates Conference in Nairobi, Uhuru narrated how the tense political season left him, his family, and his allies feeling unsafe.
He explained that several individuals linked to his administration were singled out for intimidation shortly after President William Ruto took office.
“Three years ago, after the elections, we were met with hostility. It was not only directed at our party, but also at me personally, my family, and my administration,” Uhuru told delegates.
Despite those challenges, the former Head of State said he remained focused on restructuring Jubilee, appointing fresh leadership, and preparing the party for the future.
He described this as part of a democratic process that should normally take place peacefully in any mature political system.
Uhuru also cautioned leaders against allowing anger and bitterness to drive their politics.
According to him, politics should be about service to the people and respect for their collective will, whether through party structures or at the ballot box.
The former President went further to criticize the current administration, accusing it of using state security agencies to create fear among citizens.
He reminded Kenyans that his government had invested heavily in security infrastructure, not to suppress people, but to protect them.
“This system we built was never meant to intimidate Kenyans. It was established to ensure safety and stability, not to turn against the very people it was supposed to serve,” he emphasized.
On healthcare, Uhuru faulted the government for what he described as the dismantling of programs initiated during his presidency.
He mentioned the Linda Mama initiative, saying it had been replaced by untested alternatives that may not effectively serve citizens.
The former President’s remarks come at a time when the political climate remains charged, with Jubilee seeking to redefine its role in the country’s shifting political landscape. Click here.
