President Ruto’s personal assistant, Farouk Kibet, has called for the withdrawal of former President Uhuru Kenyatta’s retirement benefits.
Speaking while in Vihiga, Farouk lashed out at Uhuru, alleging that he has continued to engage in active politics despite his retirement.
Farouk went on to urge the National Assembly to take action against any retired leader who refuses to stay out of the political arena.

“I want to ask former President Uhuru Kenyatta to stop inciting people. I want to ask Kimani Ichung’wah to table a motion in the National Assembly that any leader who goes into retirement and still engages in active politics is stripped of his retirement benefits and the money be given to the members of the public,” he noted.
His remarks come hours after he hit out at Uhuru whom he accused of meddling in the running of the country.
While speaking in West Pokot, Farouk accused the former president of inciting the youth to lawlessness at every opportunity he gets to speak.
Farouk asked Uhuru to sit back and allow his successor the space to carry out his agenda like he was allowed for the ten years he was in power.
