One of the most notable outbursts was directed at Eugene Wamalwa, whom Ruto mocked for inheriting his late brother’s political legacy.
Babu described these comments as beneath the dignity of the presidency and accused Ruto of attempting to divert public attention from real national crises.
"We have taken note of the recent unfortunate and undignified remarks by William Ruto directed at opposition leaders, particularly the personal attack on the family and private life of Eugene Wamalwa," Babu told TUKO.co.ke.

"Such remarks expose a calculated attempt to distract from the real crises facing our nation."
Babu highlighted several pressing issues that, in his view, require the president’s immediate attention, including the KSh 11 billion Social Health Authority (SHA) scandal, the controversial takeover of Raphael Tuju’s property, the excessive KSh 17 billion allocation to State House, as well as ongoing crises in healthcare, education, and unemployment.
He urged the head of state to rise above petty politics and focus on providing solutions that improve the lives of ordinary Kenyans.

"Leadership is not about insults; it is about accountability, service, and vision. The president must respect the dignity of leadership and focus on delivering real solutions. We will not be distracted. We will not be silenced. We will continue to demand better," Babu added.
The remarks from Babu come amid heightened political tensions in Kenya, with the 2027 general elections approaching and leaders from various factions intensifying their campaigns.
