Monday, November 18, 2024 - Nairobi County Governor, Johnson Sakaja, has urged Kenyans to give President William Ruto more time to implement his manifesto.
Speaking at St Anne and Joachim
Catholic Church in Soweto on Sunday, Sakaja emphasised that Ruto had only been
in office for two years.
The county chief said that previous
presidents like the late Daniel Moi, late Mwai Kibaki, and Uhuru Kenyatta also
took years to build their legacies, citing some roads that were constructed
under their leadership.
"Let us be patient. We need
to give Ruto time. He has only been president for two years. The late Mwai
Kibaki built Thika Road in his fifth year. Expressway was built during retired
president Uhuru Kenyatta's ninth year," he said.
Sakaja revealed that residents
of Murang'a had been complaining about the Mau Mau Road, which had been
non-existent for 60 years, pressuring the president to take action and have it
constructed.
"I was in Murang'a recently and people were complaining about the Mau Mau Road.
"However, four presidents have come and gone without constructing the road but all the blame is now on Ruto after just two years. Is that really fair?
"In just two years you want him
to solve a problem that has been there for 60 years," he added.
