President William Ruto has expressed confidence that his transformation agenda will soon bear fruit.
Speaking during a fund-drive in aid of 10 Islamic Institutions in Mandera County, the President said he remains undeterred by criticism and is focused on delivering reforms that will change the lives of Kenyans.
“I am very confident about the future of this nation and that is why I push the limits. People call me names but I’m not bothered about being called Zakayo or Kasongo. Shortly you will see the transformation happening in our country,” he stated.
The Head of State underlined education as a key pillar of national transformation, saying the government has prioritised hiring teachers, building classrooms and strengthening the Competency-Based Curriculum.
“Ignorance and lack of knowledge limits the potential of people and countries. That is why we have invested a lot of resources in education. Knowledge is the single most important empowerment we can give to this generation and those to come,” he noted.
Ruto assured the North Eastern leaders and residents who attended the fundraiser that no community, county or religion would be left behind in his administration’s quest for inclusive growth.
“We are citizens of one nation with equal rights. No part of Kenya, community or religion is lesser or greater than the other,” he affirmed.
He further stressed the need for unity across religion and community, noting that God’s blessings come when citizens stand together.
“We can debate about many things but when it comes to matters of God there should be no debate. We must all close ranks and stand on the same side,” he stated.
