MP Kimani Ichung’wah Responds To ‘Bibi Ya Ruto’ Tag, Blasts GenZ: “Wanafika Maandamano na Uber”
National Assembly Majority Leader Kimani Ichung’wah on Friday chided Kenyans online who refer to him as President William Ruto’s wife for his allegiance to the presidency.
Speaking during a tour of developmental projects in Eldama Ravine Constituency in Baringo, Ichung’wah reaffirmed his position as Ruto’s right-hand man in Parliament for advocating for issues to implement the government’s manifesto.
In the past weeks, Kenyans coined the phrase ‘muka wa Ruto’ translating to Ruto’s wife following photos and videos being shared online of Ichung’wah accompanying Ruto in his itinerary, with some claiming that he took Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua’s position in government.
“Mimi mnajua ni mtu ya mkono wa rais wetu William Ruto huko kwa bunge lakini naskia wengine kwa mtandao wameanza kuniita bibi ya Ruto. Mkiniangalia, nakaa mama Rachel? Hii sura yangu inakaa kama kiatu upside down,” he stated.

Further, the majority leader also poked holes into the motive for the protests staged by the Gen Zs in the country, claiming that they were misguided in the content contained in the Finance Bill.
“Ni vizuri kuelimisha watu juu ya Finance Bill kwa kuwa nimeona kwa mtandao watu wanaenezewa porojo mingi, mambo ambayo haiko kwa Finance Bill. Wengine wanasema matibabu ya cancer unalipa Finance Bill, nashangaa ni Finance Bill gani wanasoma. Nilipiga Yes Finance Bill na niliongoza MPs 204 kupiga yes,” Ichung’wah said.
“Nimeskiza Gen Zs wakisema Ruto ameleta Finance Bill. Si ya Ruto, imekuwa kutoka kitambo. Ni mjadala umebadilika, hapo zamani ilikuwa ni ukabila, siasa ya mali ya umma imeibiwa, leo tunaongea mambo inayotufaa sisi Wakenya. Sai Wakenya wamekuwa conscious wanataka kujua tax inakatwa iwafanyie nini.”
He noted that such protestors did not comprehend the essence of the Finance Bill in collecting the revenue needed to implement projects across the country.
“Wale wengi wakiandamana Nairobi wameshika simu ya Iphone. Wanafika maandamano na uber, wanatoka maandamano wanaenda kula kuku na minofu, Maji ni ya chupa. Hawajui kukosa stima ni kitu gani. Hawajui 35 per cent ya watu kutoka Eldama Ravine hawana stima, wale wakona stima Nairobi 100 per cent,” Ichung’wah pointed out.
