Kioni: It took less than 6 months to see that Kenya Kwanza lacked vision
Jubilee Party Secretary General Jeremiah Kioni has dismissed the Kenya Kwanza administration as lacking direction and vision, warning that the country risks further decline if urgent corrective measures are not taken.
Speaking at a local TV station on Monday, September 29, 2025, Kioni said it was evident within months of the coalition taking power that it was unprepared to govern and had no coherent agenda for the nation.

“It didn’t take us six months to know that Kenya Kwanza was radarless, directionless, visionless. I mean, three years is enough to tell us that if we don’t do something. if we don’t work hard, those of us who can see it, the country will continue sliding into dangerous levels,” he stated.
He noted that Jubilee, together with like-minded partners, has a responsibility to rescue the country from what he termed mismanagement by the current regime.
“As Jubilee Party and those who would like to work with us, we have a country to save,” Kioni added.

Uhuru Kenyatta
His remarks come days after former and retired President Uhuru Kenyatta issued a veiled criticism of the Social Health Authority (SHA) that succeeded the defunct National Hospital Insurance Fund (NHIF).
Speaking during the Jubilee Party’s National Delegates Conference (NDC) at Ngong Racecourse along Ngong Road in Nairobi on Friday, September 26, 2025, the former Head of State took pride in his administration’s achievements, including the Linda Mama programme, which enabled expectant women to deliver in public hospitals free of charge.
In his message, Uhuru, without directly mentioning SHA, said Kenyans are being subjected to experimental schemes that are untested and untried.
“Today, Linda Mama has been abandoned and replaced by new, untried and untested schemes. While we wait for these experiments to succeed, Kenyans continue to suffer and our progress is slowed,” he said.
Uhuru warned that dwelling on rhetoric instead of delivering real progress often leads to repeating past mistakes.
“As we dwell on rhetoric rather than real progress, we repeat the mistakes of the past. The past can guide us, but it is the present that can shape the future,” he told the delegates.
He urged Jubilee Party members to reflect on their direction and the lessons learned.
“We need to ask ourselves: where are we, and where do we want to go? Some things have become apparent to me.
“You succeed by building on past successes, injecting new ideas, and improving upon them; and you fail by ignoring past mistakes, thereby falling into the trap of repeating them,” Uhuru stated.
