Eldoret-based human rights activist Kipkorir Ngetich has issued a strongly worded warning to former Baringo Senator Gideon Moi, accusing him of orchestrating what he termed a sustained campaign of political propaganda aimed at undermining President William Ruto and destabilizing the Kenya Kwanza administration.

Speaking on behalf of the Centre for Human Rights and Democracy Eldoret, Ngetich claimed that recent criticism directed at President Ruto through sections of the media was part of a deliberate strategy to erode public confidence in the government and create political divisions within the Kalenjin community.

"The Centre for Human Rights and Democracy Eldoret wishes to caution former Baringo Senator Gideon Moi over what we see as sponsored hate campaigns against the government of President William Ruto, who also happens to be his brother from the Kalenjin community," Ngetich said.

He alleged that the ongoing criticism was not based on genuine concerns over governance but was instead politically motivated.

"It is clear that the media propaganda and sustained attacks against the UDA government are a calculated strategy to cause divisions within government, disrupt governance and undermine democratic stability. This is a campaign aimed at eroding public trust in the Kenya Kwanza administration," he stated.

Ngetich further alleged that the campaign was being driven by hatred and political jealousy, claiming that Gideon Moi had failed to accept President Ruto's rise to the country's highest office.

According to him, the former senator believed that the presidency should have remained in the hands of political dynasties.

"Gideon Moi thought that because he comes from a political family, just like former President Uhuru Kenyatta, the presidency should naturally have been his. He and former President Uhuru Kenyatta have never come to terms with the fact that President Ruto, who comes from a humble family, rose through hard work, determination and the support of Kenyans to become Head of State," he claimed.

Ngetich further alleged that Gideon Moi was attempting to divide the Kalenjin community by creating political differences among the Kipsigis, Tugen, Keiyo and Nandi communities.

"We know there are efforts to divide the Kalenjin community by setting one sub-community against another. That mission will not succeed because the community understands what is at stake," he said.

He maintained that when President Ruto assumed office, he extended an olive branch to all Kalenjin leaders, including Gideon Moi, in the interest of regional unity and development.

"The President welcomed every Kalenjin leader to work together regardless of political affiliation. It is therefore unfortunate that Gideon Moi allegedly rejected that opportunity and instead chose to sponsor campaigns of hatred against a fellow Kalenjin leader," Ngetich added.

Drawing comparisons with the late former President Daniel arap Moi's administration, Ngetich argued that unity within the Kalenjin community played a significant role in ensuring political stability during Moi's 24 years in office.

"The Kalenjin community stood firmly behind the late President Moi throughout his presidency. That unity strengthened his government during difficult political times. Had there been divisions similar to those we are witnessing today, his administration would have faced enormous challenges," he said.

Ngetich went on to accuse Gideon Moi of betraying President Ruto despite what he described as the President's past loyalty to the Moi family.

He alleged that after the NARC government came to power in 2002, there were attempts by some political leaders to target the Moi family's wealth and properties, but President Ruto, then Eldoret North MP, stood firmly against such moves.

"President Ruto stood with the Moi family during one of their most difficult political moments. There were attempts to target their properties and wealth, and he opposed those efforts. That history makes the current attacks against him even more unfortunate," Ngetich claimed.

He described Gideon Moi as a politician who believes leadership should remain within powerful political families rather than be determined through democratic competition.

"This is political hypocrisy. Leadership is not reserved for sons of kings, emperors or political dynasties. President Ruto rose to where he is today through hard work, courage, determination and service to the people," he said.

The activist also defended President Ruto against accusations that his administration has failed to fulfil campaign promises, arguing that government development programmes are implemented gradually due to financial, legal and administrative processes.

"Every government in the world works within budgets and follows procurement laws. Large infrastructure and development projects cannot all be implemented immediately after elections. They are rolled out in phases depending on available resources, legal procedures and national priorities," he explained.

Ngetich said delays in implementing projects should not automatically be interpreted as dishonesty.

"Delays do not mean the government lied. There are budget constraints, bureaucratic procedures, environmental approvals and procurement processes that must be completed before projects begin. These are normal government operations in every democratic country," he stated.

He added that critics who accuse the President of making false promises fail to appreciate how government functions.

"Targeting the President over delayed implementation demonstrates a shallow understanding of how public policy and government programmes are executed. Development is a gradual process."

Ngetich further accused unnamed political dynasties of attempting to frustrate President Ruto's reform agenda because they had allegedly benefited from previous administrations.

He claimed that President Ruto had taken steps to dismantle entrenched systems of patronage, making him a target of powerful political interests.

"The President has stood firmly against tribal politics and has brought together leaders from across the country. That is why some political dynasties are uncomfortable. They want to return to the old order where leadership was controlled by a few powerful families," he said.

He warned that his organization was monitoring individuals allegedly working to fuel divisions within the Kalenjin community and claimed that evidence would be made public at the appropriate time.

"We are aware of individuals within the Kalenjin community who are allegedly working with Gideon Moi to advance this agenda. Their mission is known, and we will expose them at the appropriate time."

Ngetich concluded by calling on the Kalenjin community to remain united behind President Ruto, saying leadership in Kenya should be determined by the will of the people rather than family background.

"The office of the President is not an inheritance. It is not reserved for sons of kings or political dynasties. In a democratic society like Kenya, leadership is earned through hard work, courage, determination and service to the people," he said.
