President William Ruto has expressed pride in the development achievements of his administration since taking office in late 2022.
“We are proud of our development track record over the past three years,” the President said on Saturday while addressing more than 17,000 UDA grassroots leaders from Nyeri County at Sagana State Lodge.
He highlighted that the government has stabilized Kenya’s economy, reformed key sectors including agriculture, healthcare, and education, and created millions of jobs.
Looking ahead, President Ruto said the government is rolling out ambitious national programs. He pointed to the construction of 30,000 km of roads, including 2,500 km of dual carriageways, and the expansion of the Standard Gauge Railway (SGR) from Naivasha to Kisumu and onwards to the Uganda border.
The President also noted plans to modernize Jomo Kenyatta International Airport (JKIA) to meet growing demand within Kenya and across the region. Key infrastructure projects, including the Bomas International Convention Centre and Talanta Stadium, are also underway.
On party matters, President Ruto, who is also the UDA party leader, said he intends to meet grassroots leaders in every county. He urged UDA officials to manage party affairs effectively at the local level and to actively promote the party and its agenda.
He further announced that UDA will conduct ward, constituency, county, and national elections to strengthen the party’s structure. President Ruto emphasized that UDA has become a formidable political force, citing that 580,000 polling centre officials have been elected nationwide and that 2.4 million members participated in last week’s grassroots elections.
