President goes after his opponents, dares them to show their track-record
President William Ruto has expressed optimism that his development scorecard will guarantee him a second term in the 2027 General Elections.
Speaking in Murang’a during a church service, challenged his opponents who seek to unseat him in the next polls, arguing that he bears a tangible track record that proves his competence to lead for another five years.
He started by listing some of the key projects his government was undertaking in the Mt.Kenya region, announcing plans to complete the much awaited Mau Mau roads by next year.
The president further enumerated the projects in he has effected in Muranga county, spanning from agriculture, transport, and housing that his government is working on, calling on the opposition to show their work.
“We have now allocated about Ksh.1B in the construction of MauMau roads. When we started that project, by 2022 it was 20% done and now it is at 60%. Our goal is to complete it by next year,” he said.
I want to ask you the people of Murang’a, is there any other government that has built 20 markets? The Housing project has employed 640,000 youths and we have allocated Ksh.600 billion for that project. Even the bible says everyone will carry their own cross. Everyone will be judged by the work they have done not by how much insults you hurl or how tribal you are.”
The Head of State therefore maintained that his opponents lack enough grit to oust him from office, saying that he holds a stellar track record that nobody can compete with.
“To our opponents, there is no need to insult each other or spread hate and tribalism. Present your scorecard and I will present mine and then let the people decide,” he said.
President Ruto later visited Njiiri school in Murang’a county, where he disclosed that the government would increase the funding to the education sector to a tune of Ksh.765 billion from the current allocation of Ksh.702 billion to provide quality education to learners.
His visit to Murang’a county is the second in just a week, as he continues his charm offensive of the populous Mt. Kenya region ahead of next year’s general election.
