President William Ruto has responded to chants for his resignation.
Speaking during the bell-ringing ceremony, the Head of State dismissed the chants of ‘Ruto must go’, saying they offer no real solution to the nation’s challenges.
I listened to another group of friends, Kenyans, brothers and sisters who say Ruto must go. For sure, just like those who were there before me, I will go. But respectfully, sirs and madams, let me ask you, what are your reasons for this call?” President Ruto said.
“I am sure it is not about the spelling of my name. Maybe it is because we don’t agree on ideas, policies, or the plan I have for our nation, which is okay,” he added.
The Head of State also said the country must have a candid conversation on its future and called out those resisting reforms.
“They want us to go back to NHIF? The old NHIF never worked. They want to return to the old university funding model? That crippled higher education. They want to abolish the housing program? That sounds like people who prefer the status quo, the familiar, no change,” the Head of the Republic further said.
