Uasin Gishu businessman Buzeki Kiprop has delivered a sobering assessment of President William Ruto's political associates. Kiprop has expressed deep concern that the President has become ensnared by individuals within his inner circle whose primary motivations appear to be self-serving rather than serving the public interest.
According to Kiprop, the President initially placed his trust in these political operatives, believing they would support his agenda and govern responsibly. However, he now contends that these individuals require constant oversight and supervision to function effectively—a situation that has raised serious doubts about their ability to uphold integrity and selflessness in public service.

Kiprop's remarks echo sentiments shared by a close friend before the elections, who expressed concerns not about Ruto's leadership capabilities but about the integrity of those around him. The friend warned that such individuals would likely exploit their positions for personal gain, potentially leading to widespread corruption and a depletion of national resources.
Reflecting on these warnings, Kiprop emphasized the urgent need for President Ruto to take decisive action to purge his administration of those who prioritize personal interests over the welfare of the nation. He called upon the President to "drain the swamp," a metaphorical plea to rid the government of corrupt elements and restore public trust.
As calls intensify for accountability and transparency in governance, Kiprop's remarks serve as a poignant reminder of the challenges facing leaders in maintaining ethical standards within their administrations. The businessman's words underscore the critical importance of surrounding oneself with individuals who embody integrity and a genuine commitment to serving the nation's best interests. Only through such measures, Kiprop suggests, can President Ruto fulfill his promise to lead with honor and responsibility.
