Saboti Member of Parliament Caleb Amisi has criticised President William Ruto following his condemnation of Iran after the Middle Eastern nation launched attacks in response to strikes by the United States and Israel.
Last Friday, the United States and Israel carried out an assault on Tehran. According to reports cited by Iranian state sources, the operation involved about 30 high-intensity bombs targeting a heavily guarded compound. The strikes reportedly killed Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, along with dozens of senior commanders from Iran’s Revolutionary Guard and several close advisers within the country’s theocratic leadership.
In the aftermath of the killing of the Supreme Leader, Iran retaliated, accusing several Middle Eastern governments of cooperating with Washington and Tel Aviv. Tehran launched ballistic missile attacks across the region, targeting countries it claimed had facilitated or supported the assault.
Missiles were reported in Iraq, Saudi Arabia, Bahrain, Qatar, and the United Arab Emirates, including Dubai. Iran also targeted American military installations in some of those countries and launched additional strikes toward Israel.
On Monday, President Ruto issued a statement condemning Iran’s attacks on Iraq, Saudi Arabia, Bahrain, Qatar, and the United Arab Emirates. He called for de-escalation and urged all parties to pursue diplomatic solutions to prevent further instability in the region.
Back home, however, Amisi took a sharply different tone. In what appeared to be an indirect rebuke of the president, the Saboti lawmaker suggested that Mr. Ruto’s concern was not driven by a commitment to global peace but by personal interests.
Amisi alleged that the head of state was worried about property investments in Dubai, claiming that some Kenyan leaders have acquired assets abroad using stolen public funds. He argued that many politicians have channeled billions of shillings into real estate in cities such as Dubai, the United Arab Emirates, Cyprus, and South Africa.
“This is why they panic,” Amisi wrote on X, questioning the motives behind Kenya’s foreign policy position amid the escalating conflict.
