Kiharu MP Ndindi Nyoro, once a close ally of President William Ruto, has recently made a name for himself by publicly criticising the administration over alleged fiscal mismanagement and budgetary irregularities.

Nyoro, who lost the position of Budget and Appropriations Committee Chairperson to ODM’s Samuel Atandi in March, has focused his recent efforts on scrutinising government borrowing practices and the suspected diversion of funds initially earmarked for other purposes, particularly to finance infrastructure projects.
