Saboti Constituency Member of Parliament (MP) Caleb Amisi has criticised the move by Wiper party leader Kalonzo Musyoka-led opposition formation to include former Agriculture Cabinet Secretary Mithika Linturi in their team.

Taking to his official X account on Wednesday, April 30, 2025, Amisi linked Linturi to a fertiliser scandal that took place during his reign at the Ministry of Agriculture.

The Orange Democratic Movement (ODM) lawmaker further argued that Linturi never accepted accountability for the scandal and parading him as one of the leaders in a change movement was wrong.

Replacing Ruto

Moreover, Amisi stated that although Kenyans want President William Ruto out of government in 2027, he should not be replaced by his allies.

“You put Linturi, a man who supplied our farmers with donkey shit mixed with bricks; he never accepted accountability, messed up the ministry of agriculture, and parade him as a leader in the change movement. We want Ruto out but not replace him with his long-time buddies. They will still work with Ruto. Sieve well! Anyway, Kenya needs a Renaissance!” Amisi stated.

He went ahead to state that Kenyans should not only look for a person with integrity but also a person with a record of charisma, energy, and power to bring a much-needed renaissance in the country.

“It is not just about a person who is clean but also a person with a record of charisma, energy, and power to bring a much-needed renaissance in Kenya. Kenya needs a renaissance!” he stated.

Amisi faults Matiang’i

On Tuesday, April 29, Amisi also faulted former Interior Cabinet Secretary Fred Matiang’i over his decision to meet the Kalonzo-led opposition team.

Taking to his official X account, Amisi argued that Matiang’i had committed a first mistake in his 2027 presidential ambitions.

He went ahead to state that jumping into political coalition photos without studying and understanding their ideology and respective benefactors was a wrong move for Matiang’i.

According to Amisi, one person in the opposition coalition might be secretly working for President William Ruto.

“Mistake number ONE committed. Do not jump into coalitions’ photo sessions without knowing what each party stands for in terms of ideology, political history, and their respective benefactors. I swear one person there can be a current, future, or potential Kasongo protégé; the Internet shall never forget. Wrong move,” Amisi stated.

Matiang’i, on Tuesday, April 29, 2025, joined the opposition team, marking his first ever political meeting to display publicly since returning to the country.

While details of the meeting remain unclear, the high-profile gathering of prominent political figures signals potential realignments ahead of the 2027 general election.

The meeting was also attended by People’s Liberation Party (PLP) party leader Martha Karua, Democratic Action Party of Kenya (DAP-K) party leader Eugine Wamalwa, Mukhisa Kituyi, Justin Muturi, and Linturi.
