President William Ruto has dismissed his political detractors, emphasizing his commitment to reducing the cost of living and enhancing food security.
Reaffirming his dedication to stabilizing the economy, Ruto on Tuesday stated that criticism from some quarters will not stop him from implementing his plan.
“We have a plan on how to create jobs my friends. So let nobody lie to you. You know when you hear people speak it is as if Kenya is the worst country in the world,” said the Head of State.
“Today, I can confidently tell the country that our economy is on sound footing and we are going to improve on it. Specifically, I’m very clear in my mind on what we need to do to make sure that we create a food security system, deal with inflation, deal with the cost of living, and make sure that the cost of food does not cause a crisis”
He added and said:
Nevertheless, he reiterated that he will stand by his plan despite concerns about taking on more than he can handle, particularly given the expanding list of government projects.
“I hear so many people saying, you have taken on too many assignments. You know you should do some of these now. You should wait. You remain popular so that you can implement some of them some other time.”
Ruto added that the transformation of Kenya has delayed for far too long.
“It is not always that you get an opportunity to be president. It comes once in a lifetime. So when you get that opportunity, don’t waste it, right?” added Ruto.
Ruto was speaking during the launch of the Affordable Housing Internship Programme at State House.
