January 5, 2026 PRISTONE 2 min read

Former Kenya Civil Servants Union Secretary General Dr. Isaac Newton Kinity has differed with President William Ruto recent remarks on drugs traffickers.

President Ruto is on record recently that drugs traffickers should face death penalty.

The sentiments came only 8 (eight) hours after the Venezuela President was captured by the USA over matters drugs trafficking.

However, Dr. Kinity is of the opinion that sentiments by President Ruto are not in good faith.

In a press release, Dr.Kinity who is also a member of Advisory Board to US President Donald Trump, questioned whether President Ruto is trying to fool President Donald Trump or trying to blackmail him.

If that could be the case, Dr.Kinity wondered what the reason behind it could be.

According to Dr. Kinity with or without the hanging act, nothing would change in Kenya with the current crop of leaders in power.

He argues that the current constitution and the laws in Kenya are enough and capable of protecting the nation, its people, and their properties.

He added that the problems in Kenya are not the faults in the laws and/or in the constitution but it is those on top of leadership with powers and authority, who are abusing and violating the law and the constitution of Kenya, by leading others in drug trafficking and in the looting public funds with impunity, because they can not be arrested.

While noting that USA is not new to Kenya, Dr. Kinity questioned why President Ruto decided to go for the hanging act 8 hours after the kidnapping of the Venezuela President.

Dr.Kinity who has been on record advocating for good governance, wondered what Kenya has been doing for all those years on matters drug trafficking.

Dr. Isaac Newton Kinity, a Counselor and Human Rights Activist who is also the Chairman of the Kikimo Foundation for Corruption and Poverty Eradication, called on Kenya Government to uphold the rule of law and ensure good governance.
