President William Ruto has been criticised by a section of Kenyans who have accused him of relaunching retired President Uhuru Kenyatta’s development projects. The claims have gone viral on various social media platforms and mainstream media publications as Kenyans scrutinise his movements. However, in response to the criticism, State House Spokesperson Hussein Mohamed issued a statement defending the President’s actions. In a statement on Saturday, August 17, Mohamed argued that completing all stalled projects is part of Ruto’s manifesto, which saw him elected in the 2022 polls. 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 @Williamsruto made in the Kenya Kwanza manifesto, the very document that got him elected,” he said. Will Ruto continue with development tours Mohamed reiterated that Ruto’s development tours across the country would continue, stating that they were part of his bottom-up economic transformation agenda. He observed that the president would continue to launch new projects, inspect ongoing ones, and, where necessary, revive and complete those that stalled. “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! Have a great and responsible weekend, folks,” he added.
