President William Ruto has admitted that his administration is unpopular among many Kenyans, attributing the discontent to the government's push to implement far-reaching reforms, including the Social Health Authority (SHA).
Speaking during a joint parliamentary group meeting between ODM and UDA in Karen, Nairobi, Ruto said that despite resistance, the reforms will eventually transform the country. "I can assure you, even if Raila Odinga were president today, he would be implementing SHA, housing, reforms in education, and agriculture.
He would face the same difficulties I am facing now," Ruto said.
The President urged Kenyans to give his administration time to deliver on the Kenya Kwanza manifesto, noting that entrenched corruption has slowed down reforms. He added that the projects, some delayed for more than 30 years, could have propelled Kenya to global economic heights had they been implemented earlier. "Most of you don't like the truth.
