We Have No Time For Retrogressive Politics Says Ruto
Speaking on Thursday in Elgeyo Marakwet, the president added that the country has no time for retrogressive politics.
“We have spent the past two years fixing the economy. I am glad our economy is now stable. We will keep working together to address our challenges and build a better Kenya. This is not the time for retrogressive politics,” Ruto said.
The President inspected the construction of the 30-kilometer Kapcherop – Kipkundul – Kapyego – Kamelei road, Kibirech, Elgeyo Marakwet County.
He later spoke to the residents on the progress of the development agenda after appraising work-in-progress on the Kapcherop Technical and Vocational College.
On Sunday, the President said the government has successfully stabilized the country’s economy and will now turn its focus to the implementation of key development projects.
In the past two years, the President noted, key development programs had stalled due to economic challenges.
He, however, pledged that this year, Kenyans will witness the implementation of various programs.
“Now that we have stabilized our economy, we can now engage much more robustly in the development of infrastructure,” he said.
Ruto said that despite the challenges, the government has made significant progress in the economy, security, agriculture, healthcare, education, and electricity connectivity, among others.
“I want to tell Kenyans that Kenya is going places. We are going to change the destiny of this country,” he added.
The president recalled that when he took office slightly over two years ago, the country was facing food shortages that had led to increased food prices and public protests.
He said thanks to proper planning and the subsidized fertilizer program, there has been increased food production that has reduced the cost of living.
