The President of the Republic of Kenya, His Excellency Dr. William Samoei Ruto, has finally broken his silence following former President Uhuru Kenyatta’s recent remarks made in Murang’a County.
While addressing Jubilee Party members, Uhuru cautioned party officials against attacking former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua under the guise of defending the party, instructing Secretary-General Jeremiah Kioni to ensure that such internal wrangles come to an immediate end.
Speaking during a media briefing with journalists from the Ukambani region, President Ruto appeared unfazed by the former president’s comments. Instead, he chose to focus on his administration’s development agenda, emphasizing that he was on course to complete both his own government’s projects and those initiated during Uhuru’s tenure.

Ruto stated that unlike the previous regime, which he claimed took close to ten years to fully implement some of the projects started by the late President Mwai Kibaki, his government was working under a strict timeline to deliver visible results within two years.
He assured Kenyans that by the end of that period, major infrastructure, agricultural, and housing projects will be completed across the country.
“I respect what President Kibaki started and what Uhuru continued. But as a government, we are determined to finish not only what we began but also what was left pending from previous administrations. In the next two years, Kenya will witness the completion of projects that will transform lives,” President Ruto said.
When asked about Uhuru’s comments regarding Rigathi Gachagua and the infighting within the former ruling party, President Ruto tactfully avoided delving into the matter.
He instead redirected attention to his government’s economic revival efforts and the Bottom-Up Transformation Agenda, saying that politics of division were behind Kenya’s slow growth in the past.
“Leaders should spend more time working for the people rather than trading political insults,” Ruto remarked, urging unity and collaboration across political lines.
The Head of State is currently on a four-day working tour of the Ukambani region, where he is expected to meet over 10,000 grassroots leaders and commission several development projects.
His remarks are seen as an attempt to reassure Kenyans of his commitment to development even as political temperatures begin to rise ahead of the 2027 general elections.
