Asked to rate the degree to which Ruto has implemented campaign promises, Kenyans gave the Head of State a score of just 30.8 per cent.
“Even those identifying themselves as pro-government give a score that, while somewhat higher, falls below this halfway point (43.6 per cent) though this is more than twice the rating given by supporters of the Opposition (18.4 per cent), the report shows.
The survey was conducted between June 24-30, 2023 using CATI (Computer-Assisted-Telephonic Interviews) of 1,530 respondents.
It covered views about the country’s direction and the performance of the Kenya Kwanza government since it took over the reins of power 10 months ago. The margin of error was +/- 2.5 per cent.
The interviews were conducted in Swahili (mainly) and English.
Respondents were spread across nine zones (Central Rift, Coast, Lower Eastern, Mt Kenya, Nairobi, Northern, Nyanza, South Rift and Western).
