NAIROBI, Kenya- Saboti MP Caleb Amisi has dismissed claims that he is holding political talks with President William Ruto’s administration, describing the allegations as false and politically motivated.
In a statement on Wednesday, Amisi responded to remarks made by Lugari MP Ayub Savula during a KTN News bulletin, accusing him of spreading propaganda aimed at creating divisions within the opposition.
“I have taken note of the unfortunate remarks and propaganda being circulated suggesting that I am engaged in conversations or political arrangements with the William Ruto regime. These allegations are false, reckless, and intended to sow division within those who seek genuine change in Kenya,” Amisi said.
Addressing Savula directly, Amisi said the country was at a critical political moment that required seriousness rather than speculation.
He also defended his political record, saying his commitment to what he described as the struggle for justice and accountability could not be questioned.
Amisi accused some opposition figures of branding emerging leaders as “moles” instead of embracing new voices, arguing that no individual or political faction has the authority to determine who belongs in the movement for democratic change.
He further claimed he had consistently stood with Kenyans during periods of political unrest, contrasting his role with that of leaders he accused of supporting the government during the 2024 Gen Z protests.
The legislator also cautioned against ethnic politics, saying tribal mobilisation would not solve Kenya’s governance challenges.
He said the Gen Z movement had demonstrated that Kenyans could unite beyond ethnic identities and warned against reducing national politics to competition among tribal leaders.
“The young people who awakened this country reminded us that Kenya belongs to all its citizens, regardless of ethnicity. Their movement was leaderless, fearless and tribeless,” he said.
Amisi said his electoral victories in Saboti were built on inclusive leadership rather than ethnic support, adding that this was the model of leadership he believes Kenya should embrace.
He also criticised what he described as attempts by established politicians to discredit younger leaders through misinformation, saying the country needed a new generation of leaders focused on integrity, accountability and national unity.
According to Amisi, Kenya’s current political struggle is about achieving economic justice, opportunity and democratic renewal rather than preserving the status quo.
He called for what he termed a national renaissance, saying meaningful change would require leaders willing to challenge entrenched political interests.
Savula had alleged during a television interview that Amisi was among opposition figures engaging with the government, claims that the Saboti MP has firmly denied.
