Renowned political analyst Barrack Muluka has launched a scathing critique of the Kenya Kwanza administration and the state of the opposition, accusing President William Ruto of presiding over a failed government and warning that ODM is on a path to political collapse.

Speaking during a live political talk show aired on K24 TV on Friday, August 1 2025, morning, Muluka said the President has no moral authority to lecture the opposition about selling alternative agendas to the public, claiming the head of state had failed to deliver on his promises.

“The President has no business telling the political opposition to sell agendas to the people; he has failed the test of the government, complete with the people around him; his deputy president, prime cabinet secretary, speakers of the National Assembly and Senate, and worst of all, Parliament,” he said

Muluka described the current administration as one that thrives on deception, stating that the leadership is more focused on shaping narratives than delivering results.

“They want to lie to us so that we believe in the promises, and I think, why make a promise and afterwards attempt to realise that promise but fail because of the circumstances and the environment?” he asked

Turning his focus to the opposition, Muluka was equally critical of ODM and its leader, Raila Odinga. He said the former Prime Minister had lost political momentum and was no longer the influential force he once was.

“ODM is in a slow puncture,” said Muluka. “And Mr. Odinga himself has been a slow puncture politician for some time now. When he joined ranks with Mr. William Ruto, he started accelerating towards a complete flat.”

He further suggested that ODM is nearing an internal implosion, driven by a lack of clarity in direction and identity.

“It is within that space, one way or the other, ODM will implode,” Muluka added, painting a grim future for one of the country’s leading opposition parties.

His remarks come at a time of heightened political uncertainty, with divisions growing both within the ruling coalition and the opposition. Muluka’s remarks are expected to spark debate within political circles and among Kenyans concerned with governance, accountability, and the country’s overall direction

As political tensions mount ahead of the 2027 elections, voices like Muluka’s are joining a growing chorus of critics urging both the government and opposition to move beyond rhetoric and focus on delivering real, measurable results to the people.
