President William Ruto has reiterated his commitment to transforming Kenya, stating that his leadership is guided by a divine assignment that he intends to fulfill despite growing criticism and political opposition.
Speaking during a church service in Nairobi, the Head of State emphasized that he views his presidency as a God-given opportunity to lead and reform the nation. “Mungu ndiye amenipa nafasi ya kuongoza Kenya, na amenipatia assignment ya ku-transform this nation. Hiyo assignment, I will see it through,” Ruto declared.
The President singled out the Affordable Housing Programme and Universal Health Coverage (UHC) as key development agendas that have faced decades of delays due to political inaction and excessive debate. He vowed to break this cycle and deliver results during his term. “Tumengojea kwa miaka nyingi, story imekuwa nyingi. Hii mradi wa Affordable Housing na Universal Health Coverage imekuwepo for 30 years na haijafanyika. This is the time to do it and I am the person to do it, singojei mwingine,” he said.
Ruto dismissed ongoing political criticism, asserting that his focus remains on delivering transformative change for the country. “I am committed, determined, and focused on transforming Kenya. No amount of intimidation or name-calling is going to change my course,” he stated firmly.
With rising public discontent over the cost of living and recent protests against some government policies, the President’s remarks appeared aimed at reassuring Kenyans of his dedication to national progress. He said he is not swayed by political noise, adding that he has sufficient time to implement his development agenda. “I have an assignment to transform Kenya na niko na muda ya kutosha ya kunyorosha hii maneno. I have enough time, mpaka ikae mzuri. Watu wananipigia makelele lakini mimi sijali. Mimi I am focused,” he asserted.
As his administration pushes forward with flagship projects, Ruto’s message underlined his determination to stay the course and fulfill what he considers a divine mandate to improve the lives of Kenyans.
