Senate Majority Leader Aaron Cheruiyot criticized former President Uhuru Kenyatta on May 2, 2026, for his continued involvement in public political debates. Speaking on Saturday, Cheruiyot stated that respect for former presidents is earned through dignified behavior, not political activism.
Cheruiyot urged Kenyatta to 'behave like a statesman' and avoid engaging in partisan politics, which he said undermines the office of the former president. The remarks come amid ongoing political tensions in Kenya.
Cheruiyot's comments were reported by local media, but no direct quotes from Kenyatta were available in response. The former president has been active in political events since leaving office in 2022.
