Amisi warns Ruto against using public funds to buy stability
By Ascah Mwango, August 21, 2025Saboti MP Caleb Amisi has asked President William Ruto to accept that his time in office is running out instead of using public money to sustain political stability.
In a statement shared on his X account on Wednesday, August 21, 2025, Amisi argued that the government has continued to channel huge amounts of money into political appeasement rather than addressing the real challenges facing Kenyans.
He noted that ordinary citizens are increasingly frustrated, accusing the administration of prioritising political survival over service delivery.
The MP maintained that Kenya has already lost too much to politics, warning that attempts to buy stability through dishing out money at rallies and funding political agendas were draining public resources.
He called on the President to focus on the country’s welfare rather than political manoeuvring, insisting that Kenyans are weary and eager to reclaim their nation.
“The earlier #Ruto reconciles with the fact that he is going home, the earlier his government stops using money to keep politics afloat. We have lost too much money to embrace political stability. Kenya is officially tired. We need our country back,” Amisi stated.
Amisi’s latest remarks come just two days after he hit out at the President over claims of corruption by Members of Parliament. On Tuesday, August 19, 2025, Amisi dismissed Ruto’s comments as hypocritical, saying the Head of State lacked the moral ground to lecture Parliament about corruption.
“The fight against corruption in this country is only but just a political chessboard, a gimmick, and a charade,” Amisi said.
According to him, the government was deeply entangled in corruption, making its anti-graft stance nothing more than political rhetoric.
“Corruption is not born in Parliament but rather cooked, conceived, and packaged within the Executive’s inner circles,” Amisi argued.
The legislator further cautioned President Ruto against scapegoating Parliament to divert public attention from the failures of his administration.
He insisted that the real battle against corruption should start from the State House and within government ministries where, he claimed, the vice is entrenched.
