Pastor James Ng'ang'a Appeal to Kenyans to be Patient with President Ruto

Pastor James Ng'ang'a of Neno Evangelism has urged Kenyans to be patient with President Ruto, saying he needs time to stabilize the economy.

The televangelist said it is unfair to criticize the president barely a week after he formally assumed office, adding that he should be given at least three months to organize his government.

“Huyu rais ameingia si apewe ata miezi tatu? Sasa mtu amiengia wiki moja atatoa pesa wapi? Ata hajatangaza mawaziri,” Ng’ang’a said during a church service.

He added: “Sasa mumpatie nafasi. Na simtetei. Mpatie nafasi ata miezi tatu nne aweze kupata pesa pahali ziko, aweke mawaziri ndio ajue vile ataziba hizo mashimo.”

Pastor Ng’ang’a spoke after Ruto faced sharp criticism from a section of Kenyans following his decision to end the fuel subsidy, which resulted in a rise in fuel prices to a record high.

During his campaigns, Ruto promised to lower the cost of living in his first 100 days as the country’s president.
