Africa-Press – Kenya. <\/strong><\/span>President William Ruto has said his government is keen on implementing programmes that will uplift the underprivileged and vulnerable citizens in society, especially children.<\/p>\n

The President was speaking at State House on Tuesday in a meeting with The Children\u2019s Investment Fund Foundation chairman Chris Hohn.<\/p>\n

Ruto called on development partners to complement government programmes that are aimed at transforming the lives of Kenyans.<\/p>\n

The President welcomed the support of development partners in education, child protection, healthcare, nutrition and climate change.<\/p>\n

Ruto said even though the government has made significant progress in the health sector, more needs to be done to achieve universal healthcare.<\/p>\n

He said this will help to cater to those at the bottom of the Economic pyramid.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe have partnered with counties on a shilling-for-shilling basis for training and remuneration of health workers, however, we need equipment and technology,\u201d Ruto said.<\/p>\n

The Head of State said the government will scale up awareness and implementation of the Children\u2019s Act to protect children.<\/p>\n

Hohn said TCIFF will support underprivileged Kenyans through bursaries, championing laws to protect minors and increasing community health workers across the country.<\/p>\n

The President added that the fund will support efforts to mitigate climate change.<\/p>\n
