President William Ruto has reiterated his commitment to delivering on his government’s transformation agenda, assuring Kenyans that reforms already underway will soon begin to uplift lives across the country.
Speaking in Mandera County during a fundraiser for ten Islamic institutions, the Head of State dismissed his critics, emphasizing that his focus remains firmly on implementing policies designed to spur inclusive growth.
“I am very confident about the future of this nation, and that is why I push the limits. People call me names, but I’m not bothered about being called Zakayo or Kasongo. Shortly, you will see the transformation happening in our country,” President Ruto declared.
At the core of his message was the role of education as a driver of national development. The President highlighted his administration’s efforts in employing more teachers, expanding classroom infrastructure, and strengthening the Competency-Based Curriculum (CBC).
“Ignorance and lack of knowledge limits the potential of people and countries. That is why we have invested a lot of resources in education. Knowledge is the single most important empowerment we can give to this generation and those to come,” he explained.
Addressing leaders and residents from North Eastern Kenya, Ruto assured them that his administration is committed to equity and inclusivity, pledging that no community, county, or religion would be left behind.
“We are citizens of one nation with equal rights. No part of Kenya, community, or religion is lesser or greater than the other,” he affirmed.
The President also stressed the importance of unity across faiths and communities, urging Kenyans to stand together under God’s guidance.
“We can debate about many things, but when it comes to matters of God, there should be no debate. We must all close ranks and stand on the same side,” he said.
Ruto’s remarks come at a time when his administration faces both criticism and high expectations. Yet, his message in Mandera sought to inspire hope—reassuring Kenyans that the promises of transformation are not distant dreams but changes already taking root.
