Public Service Cabinet Secretary Geoffrey Ruku has urged Kenyans to ignore the allegations by opposition leaders that the country is not doing well economically.
Speaking during a relief food distribution exercise in Balambala subcounty, Garissa, the CS, who was flanked by Garissa Woman Representative Udgoon Siyaad, MPs Shurie Omar (Balambala) and Mohamed Abdikadir Hussein (Lagdera) among other local leaders said that the achievements of the current government were clearly visible to all Kenyans. "The president has done a lot of work to uplift the economy of the country from where he found it when he assumed office.
Prices of basic commodities have significantly reduced, the prices of Unga and cooking oil were high but now the president has made sure that the prices come down," Ruku said. "Inflation rate has also reduced from 9.6 percent to 3.8 percent, fuel prices which were over Sh200 have reduced too while at the same time prices for coffee and tea have gone up so that our farmers get more money from their produce," he said.
Garissa woman Representative cautioned the opposition against making utterances that could incite the public noting that such remarks are a sign that they are sensing defeat in the 2027 general elections.
