Some Kenya Kwanza leaders, led by National Assembly Speaker Moses Wetang’ula, has criticised the opposition over what they termed as persistent and unconstructive attacks on the government.
Speaking on Sunday at a church fundraiser at Kamobo Salvation Army in Kapsabet, Nandi County, the leaders accused the opposition of engaging in divisive politics that undermine national unity and hinder development efforts.

Wetang’ula, who was the chief guest, called for political maturity, urging opposition leaders to shift from constant criticism to offering alternative policies and constructive engagement.
“The season for grandstanding and chest-thumping ended with the elections. It is disheartening to see leaders who should be building the nation spending all their energy preaching division and trying to incite Kenyans against a legally constituted government,” he said.
He emphasised the need for leaders across the political divide to prioritise national interests and collaborate in addressing the country’s socio-economic challenges.
Other leaders present, including Members of Parliament and local officials from Nandi County, defended the Kenya Kwanza administration’s track record, citing achievements over the past three years.
They highlighted ongoing infrastructure projects, economic stabilisation measures, and social programmes as evidence of the government’s commitment to improving the lives of Kenyans.
The leaders maintained that while criticism remains a key pillar of democracy, it should be constructive and solution-oriented rather than divisive.
