Murang’a Senator Joe Nyutu has ignited debate about the inner workings of the current administration, arguing that there is deep discomfort at the top of government.
He suggests that the bond between the President and former the Deputy President is strained, with the second-in-command increasingly viewed as a political liability rather than a partner.
Nyutu claims the tensions unfolding in public are part of a deliberate plan rather than a coincidence.
In his view, influential figures from the opposition have been drawn into a coordinated effort aimed at weakening the former Deputy President’s position.
He points to leaders such as Eddy Oketch, Gladys Wanga, and Junet Mohammed as being at the center of these political offensives.
According to the Senator, their attacks are not driven by principle but by instructions from powerful interests seeking to unsettle the government’s second-in-command.
From Nyutu’s standpoint, the former Deputy President is facing sustained pressure from outside forces whose main aim is to create confusion and weaken his influence.
He argues that the growing criticism should not be seen as proof of failure, but as evidence of the former Deputy President’s strong political weight.
To his supporters, the resistance he faces only highlights his relevance and ability to shape future political outcomes.
These claims point to an expanding divide within the ruling coalition.
When a sitting Senator publicly suggests that rivals are being used to undermine a key government figure, it reflects a serious erosion of trust at the highest levels of leadership.
As political temperatures continue to rise, such allegations are expected to deepen divisions, stir public debate, and play a major role in shaping the next phase of national politics.
