Kenta Urges Ruto to Mind His Health and Tone Down Political Insults

Jubilee Party Secretary General Moitalel Kenta has called on President William Ruto to change his approach in handling political disagreements, urging him to avoid personal attacks and instead focus on his well-being and leadership responsibilities. 

His remarks come at a time when political exchanges between the government and the opposition have become increasingly heated.

Speaking during a public engagement, Kenta did not hold back in criticizing the President’s recent statements, which he described as disrespectful and unnecessary.

He warned that such remarks risk lowering the dignity of the office and shifting attention away from the real issues affecting Kenyans.

According to Kenta, leaders are expected to rise above provocation and guide the country with calmness and maturity.

In a statement that has sparked widespread discussion, Kenta advised the President to “check your health” and stop insulting people who are “healthy.”

While his choice of words raised eyebrows, he explained that his message was meant to remind the Head of State to take care of himself and avoid being drawn into constant political fights that add little value to the nation.

Kenta stressed that leadership is not about trading insults but about finding solutions.

He pointed out that many Kenyans are struggling with the high cost of living, unemployment, and other pressing concerns that require urgent attention.

He argued that the energy being spent on political battles would be better used in addressing these challenges and improving the lives of ordinary citizens.

The Jubilee Party official also urged all political leaders, both in government and opposition, to show restraint in their language.

He noted that while disagreements are part of democracy, they should be handled with respect and a sense of responsibility.

According to him, the growing trend of harsh rhetoric risks dividing the country and creating unnecessary tension among supporters.

Kenta further emphasized that the President, as the leader of the nation, has a special duty to set the tone for political discourse.

He said that when the Head of State uses strong or insulting language, it sends the wrong message to the public and encourages others to do the same.

Instead, he called for a more measured and respectful approach that promotes unity and understanding.
