President William Ruto has justified his recent reappointment of ministers and the creation of a broad-based government, emphasizing his commitment to uniting the nation and revitalizing Kenya’s economy.
During his development tour in Embu County, where he inaugurated several projects, President Ruto made clear his intention to prevent the recurrence of violent and deadly protests.
“My goal is to foster unity among Kenyans and ensure our economic growth. We are a democratic country. We cannot afford the disruption and damage caused by protests,” he said.
Accompanying the President, Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua urged residents of the Mount Kenya region to support the President’s initiatives, highlighting the need to allow the government to deliver on its promises.
Gachagua, who has been advocating for Mount Kenya residents, emphasized their priority in government projects, citing the significant support they provided in the last election.
“The people of Mount Kenya gave us the most votes. It is only fair that they receive priority in development projects as a sign of appreciation and recognition,” Gachagua said.
President Ruto’s remarks come amid ongoing discussions about the inclusivity of his government and its effectiveness in addressing the country’s economic challenges.
Among other projects, the president launched the tarmacking of the 25-kilometer Rukuriri-Kathageri-Kanyuambora road in Runyenjes Constituency.
Ruto said the road would further Embu’s agricultural vibrancy, unlock its economic potential, and improve livelihoods.
