KITUI, Kenya Jul 13 – President William Ruto has assured Kenyans that every part of the country will receive its fair share of development regardless of political affiliation or voting patterns.

📻 Breaking It Down

Speaking during a Sunday service and fundraiser at ACK St Martin’s Cathedral in Kitui Town, the President called for unity among leaders and citizens in advancing equitable development across the country.

He said politics based on exclusion, division and ethnicity had for years undermined Kenya’s development ambitions and urged the country to embrace a common national vision.

“The politics of exclusion, division and ethnicity is a stumbling block to our national development aspirations,” President Ruto said.

“We need to transform all parts of Kenya so that every citizen benefits and no one is discriminated against.”

The President emphasised that all Kenyans pay taxes and therefore deserve equal access to government projects and services.

“No part of Kenya will be marginalised. Even areas that did not vote for me will get their rightful share of development,” he said.

President Ruto said Kenya had lagged behind many of its peers from the 1960s and called on voters to assess leaders based on their development record and vision for the future.

“Some leaders have occupied key government positions for decades yet have little to show in terms of development,” he said.

The President highlighted the newly established National Infrastructure Fund as a sustainable financing mechanism for major projects such as dams, roads and airports.
