Pastor Victor Kanyari has come out strongly in defense of President William Ruto’s administration, urging Kenyans to stop criticizing the government and acknowledge what he described as visible development progress. Speaking during a public address, Kanyari dismissed claims that President Ruto is not delivering on his promises, insisting that the head of state has worked diligently since taking office.
According to Kanyari, several government projects are tangible and can be seen across the country, citing the construction of stadiums as clear evidence of development. He argued that such infrastructure initiatives demonstrate commitment to improving sports, youth engagement, and national development. The preacher maintained that critics often ignore visible achievements while focusing only on shortcomings.
Kanyari also praised the Social Health Authority (SHA), stating that it is operating effectively and delivering services as intended. He claimed that the reforms in the health sector are benefiting ordinary citizens and should be given time to mature rather than being dismissed prematurely. In his view, constant opposition and negative rhetoric risk discouraging progress and undermining national unity.
The remarks have generated mixed reactions, with supporters agreeing that the government deserves credit for ongoing projects, while critics argue that development should be measured by broader economic impact and service delivery. Political observers note that Kanyari’s statements place him among a growing number of influential figures openly backing the current administration, as political debates around performance and accountability continue to intensify nationwide.
