Caleb Amisi rates Ruto at 7 per cent after 3 years in office
Saboti Member of Parliament (MP) Caleb Amisi has launched a scathing attack on President William Ruto’s Kenya Kwanza administration, accusing him of failing Kenyans three years into his term.
Speaking during an exclusive interview with K24 Digital’s Sarah Ibrahim in the Grind and Glory episode that aired on Thursday, September 11, 2025, the outspoken Orange Democratic Movement (ODM) lawmaker dismissed Ruto’s performance as miserable.

While reflecting on the head of state’s three years in office, Amisi gave him a score of just 7 per cent.
“Ruto’s three years in office have been miserable. He has miserably performed. If it were in terms of 100%, I would give him a mere seven percent for just walking around locally and internationally,” Amisi said.
The MP accused Ruto of focusing on power accumulation rather than governance, arguing that, like his predecessors, the Head of State has no clear vision of what to do after securing power.
“The president and other previous presidents have missed out on what Kenya really is. They have done what they can to achieve power, but they have never known, after achieving power, what next,” Amisi said.
Amisi on Ruto’s manifesto
He went on to tear into Ruto’s election manifesto, claiming that none of its promises had been achieved.
“For all the manifestos, all the promises, I doubt if they even knew what they wrote in their manifesto. None of them has been achieved. What they have done is contrary to the wishes and aspirations of Kenyans,” he added.
Ruto’s failed areas
Amisi cited the health sector, which he said was in crisis with the Social Health Authority (SHA) failing; the transport sector, which he claimed was grounded; and the education sector, which he described as completely dilapidated.
“They have done what they can to achieve power, but they have never known, after achieving power, what’s next. Yes, you can have all the money, you can have all the tribes behind you, and you can have people supporting you to get power, but after getting that power, then what? That is one thing that they have never solved,” Amisi stated.
“That is why they say that for all the manifestos, all the promises, I doubt if they even knew what they wrote in their manifesto. None of them has been achieved. What they have done is contrary to the wishes and aspirations of Kenyans. You see people saying that there is a problem in the health sector, SHA is not working, the transport sector is grounded, and the education sector is completely dilapidated.”
