INJECT party leader Morara Kebaso has raised alarm over Kenya’s economic and political trajectory, warning that the true state of the economy under President William Ruto will become evident in 2028.
Speaking on X on Thursday, November 13, 2025, Kebaso said that while the president may appear mild-mannered until 2027, a drastic shift is expected the following year.
“President William Ruto will be very nice and gentle between now and 2027. But in 2028, he will be very dangerous. The truth about the economy will come out around that time. It will flash before our eyes that our shilling exchange was not Ksh130 against the dollar; it was being artificially managed,” Kebaso warned.
He also raised concerns over the country’s debt, claiming that it is significantly higher than officially reported.
“We will realise that our debt is far beyond Ksh14 trillion and not 12 trillion because new debt was being hidden from the books. The true picture of the collapse of our economy and privatisation of national assets will become clear,” he said.
Kebaso cautioned that public protests in response to the crisis could face strong resistance. He also expressed concern about the quality of political leadership, noting that poorly qualified MPs may continue to be elected in upcoming by-elections.
“We lost an opportunity to change our country and will pay dearly in the future. We will be very lucky if he hands over power in 2032,” he added.
The INJECT party leader further predicted that alliances between former officials and the current government could form in 2028. He criticized voter behaviour, highlighting that tribal loyalty may persist despite economic realities.
“Unfortunately, the majority of the voters are illiterate. Even if you explain this to them, they are still loyal to their tribes even with zero benefit,” Kebaso said.
This warning comes amid ongoing debates on Kenya’s economic management and the quality of political leadership ahead of the 2027 general elections.
