Africa-Press – Kenya. <\/strong><\/span>Opposition Chief Raila Odinga has intensified his criticism of President William Ruto, telling him to roll out his campaign promises without further delay.<\/p>\n

The Azimio la Umoja One Kenya leader said in Kilifi on Saturday evening that Ruto is buying time and ‘whining’ instead of immediately implementing his promises to Kenyans.<\/p>\n

Raila and Ruto have lately opened a new political war front over campaign promises and proposed policies by the Kenya Kwanza administration.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe(Ruto) said that immediately he would lower the Bible he would reduce the prices of Unga. Have the Unga prices come down? He is now asking for one year,\u201d Raila said.<\/p>\n

The veteran opposition leader also asked Ruto to implement an interest free Hustler Fund without dithering as he pledged to voters during his presidential campaigns.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe(Ruto) had said he would ensure that the Hustler Fund is without interest, why the about turn?\u201d Raila posed.<\/p>\n

Ruto has come under pressure from the opposition over his proposed Hustler Fund plans with leaders calling him out for betraying voters’ hopes by imposing interest on the facility.<\/p>\n

Ruto has said there is no ‘free government money’ as the Hustler Fund will attract not more than 10 per cent interest.<\/p>\n

The president has announced he will launch the Hustler Fund on December 1.<\/p>\n
