Speaking during a public address on Tuesday, DP Kindiki accused Matiang’i of lacking the moral authority to criticize the current administration, linking him to the disputed Ruaraka land compensation saga.
“Wewe mwizi wa shamba ya Ruaraka, wachana na sisi. Tutakuaibisha!” Kindiki declared, remarks that immediately sparked heated reactions across the political divide.
The Deputy President’s outburst comes amid rising political temperatures as the 2027 succession politics begin to take shape. Kindiki suggested that some opposition figures are attempting to rewrite their past by attacking the Kenya Kwanza government while evading accountability for decisions made during their time in power.
Allies of the Deputy President argued that the Ruaraka land saga remains a symbol of alleged excesses under the previous regime and insisted that leaders associated with controversial compensation deals should be subjected to public scrutiny before seeking national leadership.
In response, allies of Matiang’i dismissed the remarks as reckless political attacks meant to intimidate and silence dissenting voices. They maintained that the former CS has never been convicted of any wrongdoing and accused the government of weaponizing state power to settle political scores.
The war of words highlights the intensifying political rivalry between Kenya Kwanza leaders and emerging opposition figures, with land scandals, accountability, and legacy issues increasingly shaping the narrative ahead of the 2027 general election.
