People’s Party of Kenya (PPK) leader Ndindi Nyoro has launched a fresh attack on President William Ruto, accusing him of using public assets to advance private business interests at the expense of ordinary Kenyans.

Speaking at Mother’s Union Hall in Murang’a town, the Kiharu MP questioned the controversial Kenya Pipeline Company (KPC) share transactions, alleging that pensioners’ funds had been used in a deal benefiting private investors.

Nyoro claimed that the President had directed executives of public pension funds to sell their KPC shares, alleging that investors linked to the transaction made Sh16 billion in just five days.

The allegations have not been independently established.

He warned that the transactions could form part of a wider plan to transfer control of strategic public assets into private hands.

"Even if you tell Ruto that the country is burning he will not be bothered, until you tell him his money is burning," Nyoro said.

The MP accused Ruto of placing himself on both sides of business negotiations involving public resources, arguing that the President's responsibility was to protect Kenyans rather than pursue commercial interests.

"I heard Ruto in Ukambani complaining. I am telling you Mr. President, leave business deals alone. You are the Head of State and you cannot be on both sides of the negotiating table," he said.

The latest remarks follow Nyoro's earlier allegations of presidential interference in KPC share transactions involving state-backed institutions. Ruto has previously defended the transfer of shares to private investors as a move intended to mobilize capital for strategic infrastructure.

Nyoro also turned his criticism on sections of the opposition, accusing some leaders of spreading propaganda to undermine his political ambitions.

He dismissed claims by allies of Democracy for the Citizens Party (DCP) leader Rigathi Gachagua that he was a government mole, arguing that Gachagua had worked more closely with Ruto while serving as Deputy President.

He specifically challenged DCP Secretary General John Methu to stop what he described as misleading political attacks.

"If you bring propaganda I will double down on you," Nyoro declared, insisting that intimidation would not silence him.

Despite the disagreements, Nyoro called for opposition unity ahead of the 2027 General Election, urging leaders to agree on a single presidential candidate and running mate.
