Political activist Kasmuel McOure has criticized former National Treasury Cabinet Secretary Njuguna Ndung’u over his recent comments accusing President William Ruto of having “overrun the Treasury.” McOure argued that Ndung’u cannot distance himself from decisions made while he headed the ministry (peopledaily.digital).
The criticism comes amid discussions around the Finance Bill 2024, which Ndung’u was central to shaping. McOure claims the former cabinet secretary’s remarks suggest a lack of independence in his assessment of the bill. The activist emphasized that Ndung’u’s role in drafting the legislation means he should not criticize the current administration’s financial policies.
The Finance Bill 2024 has been a topic of debate in Kenya’s political circles, with concerns over its impact on public spending and economic management. McOure’s comments highlight the tension between former officials and current leaders over policy direction.
The controversy underscores the ongoing political dynamics around Kenya’s fiscal policies and the influence of past cabinet members in shaping current legislative agendas.
