Former Interior Cabinet Secretary Fred Matiang’i has spoken out defiantly, addressing persistent allegations that marked his tenure in government. His statement comes amid growing pressure from within his political circles.
In a forceful message, Matiang’i urged Kenyans not to accept what he described as misleading narratives propagated by President William Ruto, emphasizing the need for transparency and truth.
Known for his tough, no-nonsense approach, Matiang’i has broken a long-standing silence, calling for government files to be opened so the public can see who is truly accountable for past national controversies.
By taking this stance, he positions himself in direct opposition to the ruling administration, presenting himself as both a whistleblower and a resilient political figure.
Matiang’i likened the government’s tactics to illusions meant to mislead citizens, warning that corruption continues to erode the country’s foundations. He framed his intervention as a moral and political imperative rather than a personal defense.
He insisted that revealing the truth is essential not just to clear his name but also to expose the misleading narratives he claims have become a hallmark of Ruto’s leadership style.
In a bold political move, Matiang’i signaled his intention to challenge President Ruto’s 2027 re-election bid, positioning himself as a key opponent to the current administration.
He described the current regime as one built on deception and vowed to mobilize forces capable of mounting a significant challenge to Ruto’s ambitions.
