Strong Words Exchanged as President Ruto and Ndindi Nyoro Differ on Key Economic Issues

A public discussion that started as a normal debate quickly turned into a tense exchange, drawing wide attention from Kenyans following the country’s economic direction. What was expected to be a calm conversation on business and investment instead revealed sharp differences among top leaders.

The disagreement came up during talks linked to the proposed sale of shares in one of the country’s biggest companies. While some leaders raised concerns and asked questions about the process, others defended the move and insisted that proper procedures were being followed. The difference in views soon became clear, with strong remarks being exchanged in front of cameras and supporters.

President William Ruto later responded to the concerns, saying that the government would not be distracted by what he described as political moves meant to create confusion. He maintained that decisions being made are focused on supporting economic growth and protecting national interests. According to him, debates on such matters should be guided by facts and clear plans rather than personal or political interests.
