State House spokesperson Hussein Mohamed has clarified claims that President William Ruto is relaunching former president Uhuru Kenyatta’s projects.
Notably, Ruto’s critics have poked holes in his current development tour across the country, purporting that most of the projects he has been commissioning were launched by Uhuru.
However, taking to X in response to the claims by one publication in Kenya, Hussein clarified that Ruto was reviving and completing stalled projects as per his pledge to the people of Kenya when he assumed power.
The spokesperson insisted that Ruto has a responsibility to ensure that all projects implemented by the Kenyan government are complete.
“It’s a mark of responsibility for a president to ensure that all the feasible projects, including those that stalled before his election are completed. This commitment is actually part of the pledges William Ruto made in the Kenya Kwanza manifesto, the very document that got him elected,” said Hussein.He added that the president, during his development tours across the country, will continue launching new projects, inspecting ongoing ones and where necessary reviving and completing those that stalled before his election.
“So yes, during his development tours across the country, the president will continue to implement the Bottom-Up Economic Transformation Agenda including launching new projects, inspecting ongoing ones, and, where necessary, reviving and completing those that stalled before his election all for the benefit of the people,” added Hussein.
