Speaking during a recent public event, Mbui said that wherever he goes, many Kenyans describe the President as a “wantam” leader someone who is always on the move, making promises, and engaging in endless political rallies instead of concentrating on the country’s pressing issues.
According to Mbui, the President’s frequent tours and public appearances resemble a continuous political campaign rather than the work of a sitting head of state.
The MP argued that Kenyans expected the President to settle down and provide clear leadership once he took office, but instead, he has kept the same style he used during the election period.
He added that many citizens are growing frustrated because they feel the government is spending too much time defending itself or attacking opponents, while living conditions continue to worsen.
Mbui said that people want real solutions lower food prices, reduced taxes, more jobs, and better public services not constant political speeches.
The Kathiani MP also noted that governing requires focus, planning, and consistency, qualities he believes are missing in the current administration.
He said that by constantly traveling and campaigning, the President risks losing touch with the struggles of ordinary Kenyans who are still grappling with the high cost of living.
Mbui further argued that national leadership should bring stability and inspire confidence, especially during tough economic times.
He challenged the President and his team to slow down on political theatrics and instead concentrate on delivering the promises they made during the campaign period.
Robert Mbui, Kathiani MP: Everywhere I go, people are saying Ruto is a ‘wantam’ President. Ruto is a perennial and permanent campaigner. That is what he is good at.#FixingTheNationNTV @NationFmKE @MariamBishar@OfficialJMbugua @EricLatiff pic.twitter.com/YiePIM1hXW
