Nairobi, Kenya — The United Democratic Alliance (UDA) has launched a sharp political response against former President Uhuru Kenyatta following his recent criticism of President William Ruto and the Kenya Kwanza administration.

In a strongly worded statement, leaders from the ruling party accused the former Head of State of leaving behind a struggling economy weighed down by massive public debt, stalled development projects, and years of what they termed as financial mismanagement.

According to UDA, President Ruto inherited an economy that was on the brink of collapse, forcing the current administration to undertake difficult but necessary reforms aimed at stabilizing the country and restoring economic growth.

“Kenya was surviving on expensive loans and unsustainable borrowing. The economy was suffocating under debt and poor financial decisions,” UDA leaders said in the statement.

The party also accused the previous administration of neglecting the agriculture sector, which they described as the backbone of Kenya’s economy.

“You destroyed the agriculture sector that feeds millions of Kenyans. Farmers suffered under your leadership, production declined, and the cost of living escalated. President Ruto has revived a sector you nearly killed,” the statement added.

UDA leaders defended the Kenya Kwanza administration’s policies, saying reforms in agriculture, fertilizer subsidies, food production, and farmer support programmes are beginning to restore confidence in the economy.

The latest exchange signals an escalating political confrontation between allies of former President Kenyatta and supporters of President Ruto, as debate over the country’s economic direction continues to dominate national discourse.

Political observers expect the war of words to intensify ahead of anticipated national political realignments, with both camps seeking to influence public opinion over who bears responsibility for Kenya’s economic challenges and recovery efforts.
