Opposition leaders Dr. Fred Matiang’i of Jubilee and his Party of National Unity (PNU) counterpart Peter Munya have called out President William Ruto over what they said is his administration’s inability to tame goons.

This after rowdy youth armed with batons barricaded the road leading to the Maili Tatu Centre with stones, moments before their convoy made its way to the area, on the second day of their Meru County tour on Friday.

They accused Meru Governor Isaac Mutuma of being complicit.

The leader, at the same time, accused the Head of State of failing to tame corruption during his four-year tenure.

“Ujinga kama huu ndio umeturudisha nyuma kama nchi. Eti tuko na viongozi, kazi yao ni fitina, badala ya kupanga maendeleo ya Wakenya. Sasa wewe kama gavana, unatoa wapi nafasi ya kupanga mawe njiani na watu hapa maskini wanahitaji huduma yako,” said Matiang’i.

Munya added: “Kazi yao ni kupora vitu, kila siku. Sindio? Wametuharibia elimu ambayo ilikuwa imetengenezwa, ata watoto wa maskini walikuwa wanasoma. Mambo ya afya wameharibu yote. Ni wizi tu wanafanya. Sindio?”
