Ichung'wah reiterated his role as Ruto's right-hand man in Parliament for pushing for policies to carry out the government's program while speaking during a tour of development projects in Baringo's Eldama Ravine Constituency.
On Friday, Kimani Ichung'wah, the majority leader of the National Assembly, chastised Kenyans online for their loyalty to President William Ruto by referring to him as his wife.
Ichung'wah reiterated his role as Ruto's right-hand man in Parliament for pushing for policies to carry out the government's program while speaking during a tour of development projects in Baringo's Eldama Ravine Constituency.
Kenyans have been referring to Ruto's wife as "muka wa Ruto" for some weeks now after images and videos of Ichung'wah accompanying him on his schedule went viral online. Some have even said that Ichung'wah assumed the role of Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua in the administration.
"Mimi mnajua in mtu ya mkono wa rais wetu William Ruto huko kwa bunge lakini naskia wengine kwa mtandao wameanza kuniita bibi ya Ruto. Mkiniangalia, nakaa mama Rachel? Hii sura yangu inakaa kama kiatu upside down," he stated.
The country's Gen Z protest leaders were criticized by the majority leader for their apparent incorrect views regarding the Finance Bill, which cast doubt on their motivations.
"Ni vizuri kuelimisha watu juu ya Finance Bill kwa kuwa nimeona kwa mtandao watu wanaenezewa porojo mingi, mambo ambayo haiko kwa Finance Bill. Wengine wanasema matibabu ya cancer unalipa Finance Bill, nashangaa ni Finance Bill gani wanasoma. Nilipiga Yes Finance Bill na niliongoza MPs 204 kupiga yes," Ichung'wah said.
"Nimeskiza Gen Zs wakisema Ruto ameleta Finance Bill. Si ya Ruto, imekuwa kutoka kitambo. Ni mjadala umebadilika, hapo zamani ilikuwa ni ukabila, siasa ya mali ya umma imeibiwa, leo tunaongea mambo inayotufaa sisi Wakenya. Sai Wakenya wamekuwa conscious wanataka kujua tax inakatwa iwafanyie nini."
According to him, these protesters failed to understand the purpose of the Finance Bill, which is to raise the funds required to carry out national initiatives.
"Wale wengi wakiandamana Nairobi wameshika simu ya Iphone. Wanafika maandamano na uber, wanatoka maandamano wanaenda kula kuku na minofu, Maji ni ya chupa. Hawajui kukosa stima ni kitu gani. Hawajui 35 per cent ya watu kutoka Eldama Ravine hawana stima, wale wakona stima Nairobi 100 per cent," Ichung'wah pointed out.
