Nairobi Senator Edwin Sifuna speaking in Narok on March 22, 2026 / ScreengrabNairobi Senator Edwin Sifuna in Narok on March 22, 2026./HANDOUTNairobi Senator Edwin Sifuna has issued a subtle response to President William Ruto amid ongoing personal exchanges between the President and opposition figures. Reacting to Ruto’s comments about opposition leaders’ physical fitness, Sifuna said he cannot be criticised because his stomach is “within.”“Hawezi sema juu ya watu wengine kama sisi, kitambi yangu iko within,” Sifuna said during a rally in Narok. “I have not claimed that you eat at my place; I have just asked you to reduce the portions,” Ruto said. “They should reduce their portions and also exercise so that they do not sleep in rallies and meetings,” Ruto said. Church leaders have since called on political leaders to exercise restraint in their public utterances.
