Mwaura Defends Ruto’s Record, Says Opposition Using Propaganda to Divide Kenyans

Government Spokesperson Isaac Mwaura has dismissed what he termed as a campaign of misinformation by opposition leaders aimed at discrediting President William Ruto’s administration, saying the government’s record on development speaks for itself.

Speaking in Gatundu North during the Jamii Imara Mashinani forum, Mwaura said Kenyans should focus on tangible results being achieved under the Kenya Kwanza government instead of listening to what he called “politics of deceit and division.”

“The government is focused on delivering results, not noise,” Mwaura said. “We are implementing projects in every corner of this country — from roads, schools, and hospitals to youth programs that are creating jobs. The truth is visible to anyone willing to see it.”

Mwaura accused the opposition of attempting to exploit public frustration for political mileage, arguing that such tactics only undermine national unity and slow progress.

“Some politicians want to keep Kenyans angry and divided so that they can remain relevant,” he said. “But this country is moving forward. The people can now see the difference between empty rhetoric and genuine service.”

The Jamii Imara Mashinani initiative, which brings together Principal Secretaries, CEOs, and other senior government officials, is designed to take information, services, and feedback forums directly to the grassroots.

Mwaura said the program was proof that the Ruto administration is not only listening but also involving citizens in shaping the country’s development agenda.

“This is a people-driven government,” he said. “We are taking government to the people — explaining what we’re doing, listening to their challenges, and finding solutions together.”

Lands Cabinet Secretary Alice Wahome, who also attended the event, praised the initiative and said it was already transforming lives at the grassroots.

“The Mount Kenya region has been one of the biggest beneficiaries of government programs,” Wahome said. “We have seen new roads, water projects, and affordable housing changing communities. What we need now is unity to sustain this momentum.”

Wahome, who is leading digital reforms in the Lands Ministry, reaffirmed her commitment to ending corruption through digitization of land records.

“This reform is about fairness and transparency,” she said. “It will ensure that land services are faster, accessible, and free of manipulation.”
