Ruto's Harsh Remarks on Wamalwa's Family Take a New Turn After Fresh Clip Emerges - Video Below

A political storm unfolded in Western Kenya after William Ruto took a sharp turn from his development tour to launch personal attacks against opposition leaders.

While addressing residents in Bungoma County, the president appeared to target Eugene Wamalwa with remarks questioning his personal life and leadership ability.

The comments quickly sparked debate, drawing reactions from political circles and the public.

In response, Wamalwa pushed back strongly, accusing the president of struggling with anger management and failing to uphold the dignity expected of his office. He maintained that he had never insulted the head of state to warrant such remarks.

Amid the heated exchange, a past video resurfaced showing Wamalwa addressing long-standing claims about his late brother’s estate. His brother, Michael Kijana Wamalwa, passed away in 2003, leaving behind a significant portfolio of properties.

In the video, Wamalwa clarified that he initially served as the family lawyer and was closely involved in managing his brother’s legal affairs. However, he later stepped aside when disputes over succession emerged among the children.

He explained that the matter became complicated when disagreements arose over how the estate should be shared.

According to him, his position was that all the children deserved an equal share, a stance that reportedly caused friction, particularly with the youngest child.

Wamalwa noted that the case was eventually taken to court, where he could no longer act as a lawyer due to conflict of interest. He handed over the responsibility to another legal representative and remained involved only as an uncle.

He further revealed that the estate included high-value properties, among them a Nairobi asset estimated at around KSh 500 million, as well as homes and farmland in Kitale worth millions more.

The Nairobi property, he said, became the main point of contention.

The politician criticised opponents for repeatedly using the family dispute against him, arguing that they often present incomplete information. He expressed hope that the courts would ensure a fair outcome for all beneficiaries.

Wamalwa also reiterated that his only interest is to see every child receive their rightful share, insisting that justice will ultimately prevail.
