State House has told off critics of President Ruto’s tour of various parts of the country to launch development projects.
In a statement, Hussein Mohammed the spokesperson, said it was the President’s responsibility to ensure that all feasible projects, including those that stalled before his election, are completed.
Kenyans on social media have been poking fun at the President for allegedly re-launching projects that had been inaugurated by his predecessor and others they claim that do not merit presidential attention.
The State House Spokesperson Saturday on X stated that the President will continue to implement his Bottom-Up Economic Transformation Agenda (BETA), including launching new projects, inspecting ongoing ones, and, where necessary, reviving and completing those that stalled before his election.
“It’s a mark of responsibility for a President to ensure that all feasible projects, including those that stalled before his election, are completed. This commitment is actually part of the pledges President William Ruto made in the Kenya Kwanza manifesto, the very document that got him elected” he said.
“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! “ he added.
