“We Faced Hostility”—Uhuru Opens Up on Post-Election Pressure
Uhuru described the post-election atmosphere as hostile and unsettling. He claimed that unnamed individuals targeted his family and former administration officials.
“Three years ago, at the end of the hotly contested general elections, we faced an atmosphere of hostility,” Uhuru said. “Not only to our party but also to me, members of my family, and my administration,” he added.
Despite the threats, Uhuru said he remained committed to rebuilding Jubilee and ushering in new leadership.
“I stood at this same venue, ready to begin a process that should be normal in any mature democracy,” he stated.
“Politics of Hate Will Destroy Us”—Uhuru Warns Leaders
Uhuru cautioned leaders against embracing bitterness and vengeance. He urged them to focus on unity and service to the people.
“Politics driven by anger and hate will never help us achieve our mission,” he warned. “We must remember that politics is about the will of the people,” he added.
He emphasized that democracy thrives when leaders respect the ballot and the people’s voice.

“This machine we built was not designed to face its own citizens,” Uhuru said. “It was to protect them, not harm them,” he added.

Uhuru also faulted the Kenya Kwanza government for allegedly dismantling healthcare reforms he introduced. He specifically mentioned Lind Mama, a maternal health program, which he claimed was replaced by untested alternatives.

He urged leaders to build on existing programs rather than discard them for political gain.
