President William Ruto has vowed to keep the numerous promises he has made to Kenyans before the next general elections. This comes as he faces mounting criticism for failing to follow through on most of those pledges.
Speaking in Suswa, Narok at the start of his three-day tour of the Maa region, the President maintained that he will put the naysayers to shame adding that he will have delivered.
“There are people accusing me of lying to Mama Mboga. I will put all those people to shame,” said President Ruto.
He added: “I’m working throughout the country as mandated by Kenyans. I must live up to the commitments I made in the manifesto that we can transform this country. It may not happen in a month, or a year, but finally by 2027 I will have discharged my commitments and responsibility to the people of Kenya.”
