Africa-Press – Kenya. <\/strong><\/span>President William Ruto has maintained that he will not keep quiet as courts put on hold his development plans.<\/p>\n

\u201cHow do you expect me to be quiet when a few people are rushing to the courts to stop plans to create job opportunities for Kenyans,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

The Head of State added that the people who have gone to court to stop his plans have no idea what it is like to be educated, skilled and talented, and without a job.<\/p>\n

\u201cThose who don\u2019t have jobs do not have money to hire lawyers or bribes courts. I will stand with them. I am going to be their advocate until they get jobs,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

The President spoke in Soy, Uasin Gishu County, during a church service on Sunday.<\/p>\n

Ruto has been locked in a row with the Judiciary, threatening to disobey court orders restricting his flagship policies and accusing judges of corruption.<\/p>\n

The President suffered a setback last year when the courts issued orders blocking the implementation of key projects his administration wants to undertake.<\/p>\n

Chief among them is the High Court\u2019s declaration that the Housing Levy, through which the Kenya Kwanza seeks to build over 250,000 housing units, is illegal.<\/p>\n

Apart from the controversial housing levy, the government\u2019s plan for the Social Health Insurance Fund and the privatisation of 11 parastatals including the Kenyatta International Convention Centre were stopped.<\/p>\n

The proposed privatisation of Lamu and Mombasa ports has also been put on hold by the courts.<\/p>\n

Addressing the faithful on Sunday, Ruto said it is regrettable that people in leadership are using their positions to sabotage plans that will create jobs for Kenyans.<\/p>\n

\u201cI do not want quarrel anybody, I do not want to fight anybody and I want all leaders to unite. However, we cannot unite to sabotage other Kenyans. We cannot unite to scatter plans that will create jobs for Kenyans,\u201d he maintained.<\/p>\n

The President said millions of unemployed young Kenyans are educated, creative and skilled and have no opportunities to get jobs.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf you are a leader in Judiciary, Executive or Legislature, you must ask yourself, how will you help the educated youths?\u201d he stated.<\/p>\n

Ruto said the three arms of government should not compete against each other but work in harmony.<\/p>\n

\u201cFor Kenya to make any meaningful strides, it will mean that all arms of government have to work together. Leaders in the Executive, Judiciary and Parliament must all work together. We must all cooperate as we target how the country will move forward,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

The Head of State reiterated that Kenya will not move forward if the three arms of government and independent institutions continue to fight each other.<\/p>\n

\u201cI am asking all leaders that of greatest importance is transforming the county. Those who started with us; Singapore Malaysia and South Korea are far ahead of us. Kenya is late and we have no time to waste,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

He added that the transformation of Kenya has been delayed because leaders have not been making decisions that will change the country for the better.<\/p>\n
