The Jubilee Party has condemned the Kenyan government for what it termed as constantly blaming former President Uhuru Kenyatta for the ongoing economic crisis gripping the country. In a statement signed by the party's Secretary General Moitalel Ole Kenta, Jubilee accused the administration of President William Ruto of using Kenyatta as a scapegoat to divert attention from its own failures.
According to the statement, dated May 20, 2026, the party said, 'It is time for the Ruto government to stop blaming former President Uhuru Kenyatta and his family for their incompetence.' The party argued that the government's economic policies have led to high inflation, unemployment, and a weakened currency, and that blaming Kenyatta is a distraction from addressing these issues.
The statement comes amid ongoing economic challenges in Kenya, including rising costs of living and a depreciating shilling. The Jubilee Party called on the government to focus on implementing effective economic measures rather than engaging in political blame games.
