Delivering remarks at the Edge Convention Centre on Thursday, President Ruto acknowledged that garnering public approval for each decision is not always attainable. He emphasized that advancing the long-term welfare of citizens is his government's utmost priority, motivating top officials to give precedence to options that advance national interests. Additionally, the President affirmed his unyielding determination to pursue bold and transformative measures, bypassing the temptation of readily favourable alternatives.

While acknowledging the difficulty of this approach, Ruto highlighted the transformative impact it could have on the nation. To expedite the success and address shortcomings, he underlined the importance of consistently evaluating the progress of the government. As such, Ruto entreated that Cabinet Secretaries converge in unison towards delivering on the pledges declared during the campaign. He implored them to spare the unbeneficial blame and instead focus on finding solutions collectively.

As Kenya Kwanza's inaugural year in power draws to a conclusion, the Cabinet is slated to gather for a meeting to ponder its achievements. This retreat occurs amidst apprehensions regarding the escalating cost of living and burdensome taxation. Meanwhile, the opposition has stated their intention to dismiss the National Dialogue Committee's report unless it adequately tackles this concern. Led jointly by Kimani Ichung'wah and Kalonzo Musyoka, the committee has assembled at Stoni Athi Resort in Machakos County to finalize their report. Nevertheless, doubts are mounting regarding the likelihood of finding a common ground.

The Azimio leaders have underscored the urgency of scrapping the Finance Act 2023 to relieve the financial strain on Kenyans. Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua has continued to acknowledge the significance of frequent gatherings to evaluate the government's advancements. He views these meetings as a chance to share insights and suggestions for enhancing service provision.

Head of Public Service Felix Koskei has announced that the government plans to hold an annual caucus and engage in consultations to foster the sharing of diverse and innovative ideas.

    When someone shows you who they are, believe them.This guy is becoming an incredible disappointment & an absolute disgrace.I can't believe what he says because I see what he does and continue to implement.And now we clearly all know who he's and who he isn't.Voters have to learn that Elections have consequences,and they now see that they can be potentially catastrophic in their everyday standards of living.

    Kenyans are now suffering from the bad choice they made for a president! But the funny thing is that he same people will be deceived again by Ruto come 2027. He will just drop Se the 100 shs and they will all forget the heart aches and pains Ruto has bestowed upon them.
