Narok Senator Ledama Olekina now says he has no personal vendetta against President William Ruto.
This comes in the wake of his sustained attacks against President Ruto over claims he has failed to positively change Kenya.
In a statement on Monday, Ledama noted that the move by Ruto's government to add taxes on basic commodities has forced him and others to criticise the current regime.
According to the Senator, the additional taxes on commodities have messed up the country's economy.
"It’s not that we hate William Ruto we just like the truth he is messing up the economy with his mirage of taxes which he believes will propel Kenya to greater heights! Little does he know Kenyans are getting poorer and poorer ………..it pains a lot! Stop with the Taxes Man!" Ledama said.

Ledama, an ardent supporter of the ODM Leader Raila Odinga, has been pointing a finger at the President for making the living conditions unbearable for Kenyans.
Among the measures President William Ruto has taken that has earned him criticism is the Finance Act, of 2023.
The Act has introduced mandatory deductions such as housing which requires employers to deduct 1.5 percent of their salaries for the kitty.
The President has also been blamed for the removal of subsidies for fuel. which has seen fuel prices hit above Sh200 for the first time.
