According to a post shared by The Kenyan Vigilante on X, Uhuru said he pays attention to the views of ordinary citizens and believes the public knows what it wants.
He reportedly made the remarks during a requiem mass for his cousin, Beatrice Wambui Muturi, at PCEA Nairobi West, where several opposition leaders had gathered to mourn with the family.
Among those present were Wiper leader Kalonzo Musyoka and former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua, whom Uhuru addressed during the gathering.
His comments came amid growing debate over who should lead the opposition in the next presidential election and how competing political interests can be brought together.
He did not reportedly mention a preferred candidate or directly endorse either Kalonzo or Gachagua.
The gathering also featured a lighter moment between Uhuru and Gachagua, drawing laughter from those present. The former President further welcomed opposition leaders who attended the service.
The remarks have attracted attention because of the political weight attached to Uhuru's views as former Head of State and his continued involvement in discussions about opposition unity.
However, the report is based on The Kenyan Vigilante's post, and the full context of Uhuru's statement has not been independently confirmed.
