National Liberal Party (NLP) Leader Augustus Kyalo Muli has unleashed a scathing attack on Kenya’s top opposition leaders, accusing them of dishonesty, selfishness, and failing to provide meaningful alternatives to the country’s problems.
In a fiery statement, Muli dismissed the political class as a “family cartel of Moi orphans” who all share the same outdated ideology and are united only by a hunger for power.
“There is no difference between Ruto, Raila, Gachagua, Kalonzo, or Matiang’i. They are only fighting to retain their power or crawl back into positions they lost. Their fight is not about Kenyans—it is about greed and anger after being kicked away from the main table,” Muli declared.
“No Care for the Common Mwananchi”
The NLP boss accused the current crop of leaders of ignoring the real struggles facing ordinary Kenyans, especially the youth and marginalized groups.
“They do not care about the needs of the common mwananchi. They do not care about the aspirations of the younger generation. What Kenyans want is simple: a country that works. A country where systems function, where schools prepare our children for the future, where hospitals treat the sick, and where corruption is not the order of the day,” he said.
Call for a New Political Order
Muli positioned the National Liberal Party as the vessel of change, promising to introduce new faces of integrity to lead the country out of what he termed as a cycle of recycled failures.
“National Liberal Party will fight for that change. We will work with the youth, with women, with the marginalized, and with all men and women of integrity. Power belongs to the people—and it is time Kenyans took back control of their country,” he asserted.
A Nation at a Crossroads
Muli’s remarks come at a time of heightened political maneuvering in the opposition camp, with unity calls often shadowed by infighting and accusations of betrayal. His attack, laced with strong language, underscores the growing frustration among smaller parties seeking to present themselves as credible alternatives to Kenya’s established political dynasties.
Whether Kenyans will rally behind Muli’s call to “throw away all those who stand between the people and progress” remains to be seen, but one thing is clear: the National Liberal Party leader has positioned himself as one of the fiercest critics of Kenya’s traditional political order.
