📋 Breaking It Down

President William Ruto has said his administration will deliver on all the pre-election promises made to Kenyans ahead of the general election.

He deflected claims that he had overpromised Kenyans, faltered and failed to deliver on the development agenda he rode to power with four years ago under the United Democratic Alliance (UDA) party ticket.

Dr Ruto said his administration had fixed all facets of the socio-economic set-up in the country to the benefit of Kenyans and was on track to deliver the agenda as captured in the UDA manifesto.

“We did not overpromise. We promised what we knew we were going to deliver. We promised what we could deliver and we are on the right track on the development agenda,” Dr Ruto said at Kapkatet stadium in Bureti constituency, Kericho county on Thursday.

He said Kenya’s economy had risen in the last three years to the sixth largest economy in the region, with more investment opportunities.

“We have revived the economy, which was suffocating from debts when we took over. We have lowered the inflation rate and the interest rate on loans (by financial institutions). The exchange rate has been stabilised, and the foreign currency earned from tourism has tripled,” Dr Ruto stated.

The President cited agriculture, health, infrastructure – roads, housing and rural electrification – labour export, education, among others as the driving engines of economic growth in Kenya.
