President Ruto has commented on the growing calls for his resignation, questioning the motives behind the “Ruto Must Go” slogan.
Speaking during the World MSME Day in Nairobi, the Head of State urged his critics to present a clear and constructive alternative, dismissing calls for his removal.
“If it is Ruto must go, then tell me how you want me to go. What do you mean by Ruto must go? Look for a better plan and convince the people of Kenya,” he noted.

According to Ruto, opposing his leadership must be rooted in ideas and not simply rejection adding that those calling for his exit were not offering any meaningful solutions.
“You cannot replace a plan you don’t like with no plan. The only thing you are armed with is hate and violence and you want us to agree with you? There are very few fools in Kenya,” he added.
While expressing his frustrations over the demonstrations, Ruto also noted that he was ready to step down, but only if those opposing his governance showed him their better plan for the nation.
“If you persuade us, I can also go and concentrate on farming and help in food security, if you have a better plan, but do not burn the country,” President Ruto said.
