Democratic Action Party–Kenya (DAP-K) party leader Eugene Wamalwa has criticised the government over its reported dealings with Sudan’s Rapid Support Forces (RSF), accusing it of compromising Kenya’s integrity and national interests.

Speaking on February 27, 2026, during a public address in Mai Mahiu, Wamalwa claimed the administration of President William Ruto had entered into troubling arrangements linked to the RSF.

He told supporters: “Leo tukiwa Mai Mahiu, tunataka kuambia Kasongo ya kwamba ajenda yetu ni kukomboa Kenya, sababu tusipokomboa, another 5 years with Ruto, there will be nothing left.”

Wamalwa said his remarks were part of what he described as a broader push to “liberate” the country, warning against continued leadership under the current administration.

Claims over passports and border security

The opposition figure further claimed that Kenyan passports were being issued to individuals linked to the RSF. He said: “Tumeambiwa kwamba anauza paspoti zetu kwa wale mamluki wale watu walikua wa RSF, wajanja wa Sudan wanaoua wamama na watoto usiku na mchana ndio maana ukitafuta passport ya Kenya huwezipata lakini hawa jamaa wanauza.”

Wamalwa questioned why ordinary Kenyans face challenges acquiring passports while, according to him, foreign nationals were accessing the documents.

He also raised concerns about border management, stating: “Huko juu wamefungua mpaka ya Somali na Kenya na wanauza vitambulisho vya Kenya kwa watu wasio wa Kenya.“

The remarks follow public debate over reports that senior RSF figures are holders of Kenyan passports. The RSF has faced international scrutiny over its role in Sudan’s ongoing conflict.

Accusations over deployment of Kenyan youth

Wamalwa also claimed that Kenyan youth had been sent abroad to fight in foreign conflicts. He said: “Tena wameuza vijana wetu nchini Urusi, Haiti wanaenda kupigana wanauwawa siku ya leo pale kotini wamesema walipeleka hawa vijana kwa idhini ya Minister of Foreign Affairs, na tunasema wote waliohusika lazima wachukuliwe hatua.“

He called for accountability from those he said were involved in facilitating such deployments.

The assertions come amid heightened scrutiny of Kenya’s foreign engagements and its position on the conflict in Sudan.

Civil society groups and opposition leaders have in recent weeks questioned the country’s diplomatic stance and immigration processes, calling for transparency and investigations into the issuance of travel documents.

The government has previously maintained that its foreign policy engagements are guided by national law and international obligations.
