Ndii Exposes Why UDA MPs Are Turning Against Ruto
President William Ruto’s economic advisor, David Ndii, on Friday, lifted the lid on why most Members of Parliament (MPs) elected under the Kenya Kwanza umbrella were increasingly frustrated with the Head of State.
Ndii, who acts as the Chairperson of the President’s Council of Economic Advisors, claimed that MPs were exhibiting frustration due to a lack of government tenders.
The economist made the remarks at a time when several members of the ruling party United Democratic Alliance (UDA) have publicly questioned decisions and policies initiated by the Head of State.
According to Ndii, President William Ruto made it difficult for politicians to award themselves tenders illegally, hence the animosity.
“We have a bewildered lot of tenderpreneur generation MPs who thought Kenya Kwanza win was back to good old skyteam days when they would walk into a ministry, walk out with a project, walk into a parastatal walk out with a tender,” Ndii alleged.
“They are about to get much-needed character development.”
Ndii’s remarks were made days after Kapenguria MP Chumel Moroto, elected under the UDA ticket, regretted voting for Ruto.
“I am a member of UDA, and I regret why I chose it, and it may even cost me a place in heaven, I pray for forgiveness from God,” the MP regretted supporting Ruto.

Moroto claimed that he was frustrated by the President’s failing to fulfill his promises, including dealing with insecurity in the North Rift region.
Kimilili MP Didmus Barasa, who campaigned for Ruto in the August 2022 elections on November 15, also called him out for unkept promises.
The MP noted that Ruto was struggling to lower the cost of living and further accused him of neglecting the needs of voters.
“Let us focus on how we are going to reconstruct the economy and how we are going to lower the cost of living,” he stated and warned that hiked taxes created a non-conducive environment for traders.
Other MPs and Members of the County Assembly (MCAs) under the Kenya Kwanza coalition have also criticized the administration for increasing fuel prices as well as increased taxation.
