Martha Karua Slams Ruto: No Collaboration in this Game of Micromanagement!

Martha Karua firmly declines Ruto’s Cabinet position, calling out his micromanaging style and insisting on her stance against unconstitutionality in government. Get the full scoop on her political stance!

Martha Karua, the ever-spirited leader of Narc Kenya, has made headlines again with her staunch rejection of working under President William Ruto's administration. In a recent interview with Citizen TV, Karua blasted Ruto’s leadership style, claiming it resembles that of a micromanager and that his broad-based government is illegal. She expressed concerns over the potential for unconstitutionality in how the National Parliament conducts its business if Ruto continues in this dictatorial vein.

Karua’s refusal to take a Cabinet position under Ruto has stirred the political pot in Kenya, as she has publicly stated, “I’d never accept Ruto’s Cabinet job.” Rather, she feels more aligned with Raila Odinga and his leadership style, praising him as easier to collaborate with. This stance positions her firmly against what she sees as Ruto's controlling methods, suggesting that such governance may lead to significant issues within the National Assembly.

Furthermore, the Narc Kenya leader did not hold back in her criticism of Raila Odinga’s recent alignment with Ruto's Kenya Kwanza government, declaring that Odinga has betrayed the trust of Kenyans. She insists that his Orange Democratic Movement (ODM) should exit the opposition rather than participate in what she deems to be Ruto’s problematic administration. It seems clear that Karua is keen to redefine the lines of collaboration in Kenyan politics and is unafraid to voice her concerns.

In a climate where political allegiance often wavers, Karua's strong stance demonstrates her commitment to constitutional governance and accountability. Interestingly, did you know that Martha Karua was the first woman in Kenya to be appointed as a Minister of Justice? Plus, she has long been an advocate for women's rights and political representation, making her a notable figure in the push for equality in Kenyan leadership!
