Thirdway Alliance Party leader Ekuru Aukot expresses satisfaction as he observes that the Kenyan citizens, whom he refers to as "hustlers," have come to the realization that they were deceived by the current government.
Addressing the matter on Thursday, Aukot expressed hope that moving forward, Kenyans will carefully scrutinize individuals vying for leadership positions.
He emphasized the importance of Kenyans beginning to question the sincerity and true intentions of politicians, urging a more discerning approach to evaluating those seeking to lead the nation.
"I am happy that now the hustlers are seeing the reality that they were lied to and I hope beginning of 2024 going forward, Kenyans will open their eyes and begin to interrogate people who come to tell them I want to lead you and give you a good future and also question the honesty of politicians," he said on Citizen TV.
Aukot went on to state that some leaders in Kenya Kwanza have never lost an election since 1997.

"These are not newcomers in government, they have been in leadership for the longest time, especially President William Ruto. He's the longest-serving elected politician in the history of Kenya.
"When he tells you I have a plan I'm going to fix things, there is a reason to believe him because he has been there as an activist before he was elected in 1997 and thereafter as Cabinet minister and all that," Aukot said.
The Kenya Kwanza administration campaigned on a promise to bring about change by reducing high taxation, decreasing debt, and assisting 'hustlers' in finding employment and launching businesses. However, contrary to these campaign pledges, the administration has implemented tax hikes by introducing new levies on a range of products, imposing fees on government services that were previously free, and raising charges for specific services.
In addition, the government has sought financial support through loans from organizations such as the World Bank and the International Monetary Fund.
