President William Ruto has told opposition leader Raila Odinga to be mindful of the welfare of Kenyans as he pursued his personal gains, saying the challenges facing Kenyans cannot be solved through demonstrations.
The head of state urged Kenyans to take advantage of the ongoing rains and engage in farming among other development activities to reduce the high cost of living.
He added that farming will help produce enough food instead of being subjected to unnecessary protests.
“Elections are over and it’s time to address challenges facing the people and not time to look for positions to benefit a few leaders,” said President Ruto
Moreover, the president affirmed that treats by opposition will not disrupt the state’s development agenda.
“Our focus is on development activities aimed at improving the country’s economy,” he said.
While speaking at Gachie grounds where he launched a Sh 3.3 billion road project in Kiambu County President Ruto said the government is committed to transforming the lives of youths across the country through development initiatives.
“In our plans to have more than 2 million Kenyans own homes through affordable housing, thousands of jobs will be created for the youth,” he stated.
