Ekuru Aukot: Ruto’s govt won’t stop auctioning public assets
Thirdway Alliance Party Leader Ekuru Aukot has issued a sharp warning to Kenyans, accusing President William Ruto’s administration of surrendering key national interests through what he terms the auctioning of public assets and questionable international agreements.
In a statement shared on X on Tuesday, December 9, 2025, Aukot said recent government decisions signal a dangerous trend that Kenyans must confront before it is too late.
In his post, Aukot claimed the administration is disposing of critical national assets to foreign interests without meaningful public engagement.

“My fellow Kenyans, it appears that the government under President William Ruto will not stop at auctioning our public assets to aliens,” he wrote.
Aukot went further to express concern over Kenya’s recently signed Ksh 1.6 billion health partnership with the United States, a deal that has stirred political debate, especially around issues of data privacy, medical sovereignty, and public transparency.
He suggested that the agreement could expose Kenyans to unethical medical practices if not properly regulated.
“Not to forget that we are all likely to be (if not already) samples in the USA medical/research labs following the signing of the Ksh1.6 billion deal on matters of health,” he said.
Aukot urged Kenyans to remain alert and demand accountability from government officials, warning that complacency would open the door to further exploitation.
“We must wake up and smell the coffee now,” he added.

His remarks come amidst growing public scrutiny of government partnerships and asset sales, including the controversial Safaricom stake transaction, which has attracted criticism from a section of MPs questioning the valuation process, transparency, and long-term strategic implications.
Aukot, who is a governance and constitutional reform advocate, has been increasingly vocal about what he views as policy missteps by the current administration. His latest statement adds to rising unease among sectors of the public who feel major national decisions are being made without adequate disclosure.
