NAIROBI, Kenya Oct 13 – My competitors have no plan for Kenya, President William Ruto declared on the second of his 10-day development tour of the North Rift counties of Elgeyo-Marakwet and Baringo.

📻 Breaking It Down

He pointed out that was why opposition leaders concentrated on ethnic politics, insults and hatred.

He stated that if the opposition had any agenda on how to transform the country, they would present it to the people.

Saying the 2027 General Election would not be determined by tribal arithmetic, he explained that Kenyans would make their choice depending on the development record and practical plan of leaders.

He pointed out that Kenyans will reject leaders who resort to ethnic mobilisation, hate speech and divisive politics, noting that voters will judge leaders by their vision and ability to deliver services.

Speaking during a tour of Elgeyo-Marakwet and Baringo counties on Tuesday, President Ruto noted that Kenya had moved beyond politics centred on insults and ethnic divisions.

“The 2027 General Election will be defined by what leaders have achieved and the plans they offer voters – not insults, propaganda, name-calling or tribal affiliation,” the President said.

At the same time, he said the Government has embarked on several development initiatives aimed at transforming the Kerio Valley region from a conflict-prone area to a productive region.

President Ruto singled out the construction of roads across Elgeyo-Marakwet, Baringo, Turkana, West Pokot and Samburu counties as the shot in the arm needed to attain lasting peace.

“We have allocated KSh4.5 billion to build the Kinyach-Kipsaraman road in Baringo County, which will soon be extended to Kapsowar in Elgeyo Marakwet, to ease movement of goods and services besides attaining lasting peace in the valley,” the President pointed out when he inspected the construction of the 55km Kipsaraman-Kinyach road in Baringo North Constituency.
