Kiharu Member of Parliament (MP) Ndindi Nyoro has urged President William Ruto to stop attacking his predecessor, Retired President Uhuru Kenyatta.
Speaking on Monday, August 24, Nyoro called out Ruto for dragging Uhuru's name in his political rants, especially in his last interview where the Head of State accused Uhuru of joining the Opposition instead of retiring from politics.
Nyoro told Ruto that Uhuru was not part of the manifesto, which he sensationally claimed that the Kenya Kwanza government had failed to deliver on.
"The other day we saw the President doing an interview, and I want to remind them that Uhuru Kenyatta was not part of this government's manifesto. Insulting him was not part of the plan of this failed wheelbarrow government.
"I want to send a very clear message to this government. Leave Uhuru Kenyatta alone! He is a man who is respected across the whole country. He did his work and retired with grace," the MP warned.

Nyoro further claimed that those in government had failed to deliver on their promises to Kenyans who voted it into office in 2022.
He told the President that he did not have to wait for Kenyans to send him home through the ballot, and advised him to step down from the top seat.
"If you feel like you have failed to deliver on the promises you made, you do not have to wait until the 2027 elections. You can do Kenyans a favour by packing your bags and going home now," he stated.
His sentiments came after Ruto accused Uhuru of funding the Opposition. The Head of State claimed that his predecessor was on a revenge mission over the 2022 humiliation, where he beat Uhuru's preferred candidate, the late Raila Odinga.
Ruto claimed that Uhuru had a problem with the fact that he managed to stabilise the country, which he had allegedly left in financial crisis.
On his part, Uhuru denied claims that he was sponsoring anyone to challenge Ruto's re-election. He added that the bark stopped with the electorate, who will decide on whom to elect as president in 2027.
