President Rut has claimed that the challenges he is facing as Head of State are self-imposed.
Speaking during a joint Parliamentary Group meeting of Kenya Kwanza and Orange Democratic Movement (ODM), Ruto noted that his move to implement a new university funding model, the Social Health Authority (SHA), and affordable housing made him unpopular.
“The difficulties that I face today as a President in Kenya are self-imposed. I imposed on myself all these difficulties, implementing the new funding model, implementing SHA, implementing housing, doing all those things,” Ruto noted.

According to the President, he would have remained popular in the country if he had not pushed for the reforms.
Ruto went on to state that even ODM Leader Raila Odinga would have introduced the reforms if he had won the 2022 presidential elections.
“I am confident that if Raila would have become president, he would be doing what I am doing. He would be implementing SHA, affordable housing, education reforms, and reforms in agriculture. I know that for a fact because I have been in his school of leadership,” Ruto remarked.
He further emphasized that the reforms he introduced are necessary for the country to steer forward.
