Africa-Press – Kenya. <\/strong><\/span>President William Ruto during the Kerio Valley Interdenominational Prayer Service in Tot, Elgeyo-Marakwet County on January 5, 2025 \/PCS<\/p>\n

The government has successfully stabilised the country\u2019s economy and will now turn its focus to the implementation of key development projects, President William Ruto has said.<\/p>\n

In the past two years, the President noted, key development programmes had stalled due to economic challenges.<\/p>\n

He, however, pledged that this year, Kenyans will witness the implementation of various programmes.<\/p>\n

\u201cNow that we have stabilised our economy, we can now engage much more robustly in the development of infrastructure,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Despite the challenges, the government has made significant progress in the economy, security, agriculture, healthcare, education and electricity connectivity, among others.<\/p>\n

\u201cI want to tell Kenyans that Kenya is going places. We are going to change the destiny of this country,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

President Ruto made the remarks during the Kerio Valley Interdenominational Prayer Service in Tot, Elgeyo-Marakwet County.<\/p>\n

Present were Cabinet Secretaries Kipchumba Murkomen (Interior) and Opiyo Wandayi (Energy), Governors Wisley Rotich (Elgeyo-Marakwet), Simon Kachapin (West Pokot) and Benjamin Cheboi (Baringo), and MPs.<\/p>\n

The President recalled when he took office slightly over two years ago, the country was facing food shortages that had led to increased food prices and public protests.<\/p>\n

He said thanks to proper planning and the subsidised fertiliser programme, there has been increased food production that has reduced the cost of living.<\/p>\n

On security, President Ruto said the government\u2019s efforts to ward off threats against the country have borne fruit and will continue until every part is secure.<\/p>\n

The President said in addition to dealing with banditry in the Kerio Valley, the government will ensure that health facilities, schools and other social amenities are restored in the region.<\/p>\n

He said the government will reopen schools that were closed during the period the region experienced severe insecurity and banditry.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn the next three months, all the schools must be reopened and all children must be back to school,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Governor Rotich said the newfound peace and stability in the Kerio Valley is unlocking the region\u2019s economic potential.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis region has never contributed to the country\u2019s economy for the past 40 years because of insecurity,\u201d he noted.<\/p>\n

West Pokot Governor Simon Kachapin called on leaders to nurture peace and co-existence among the various groups living in the Kerio Valley to ensure sustainable harmony.<\/p>\n

Senate Majority Leader Aaron Cheruiyot said the country has made significant progress, adding that the government will continue implementing programmes that will transform the lives of the people.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are not where we want to be. However, we are not where we were two years ago,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

He asked Kenyans to register for Taifa Care and enjoy its benefits.<\/p>\n

Interior CS Murkomen appreciated efforts by the security agencies in safeguarding the peace and maintaining law and order.<\/p>\n

He reiterated the government\u2019s commitment to ensuring the safety of every Kenyan.<\/p>\n

On his part, Energy CS Wandayi said the Cabinet is focused on helping the President realise the country\u2019s development agenda.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe will not be distracted by the naysayers,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n
