Thank you for not rocking Jubilee, Uhuru tells DP Ruto
President Uhuru Kenyatta has praised Deputy President William Ruto, whose non-confrontational approach, he says, was key in facilitating the smooth running of Government.
The President said unlike the Grand Coalition Government which was mired in squabbles, the Deputy President has worked with him with commitment to deliver the Government’s agenda on development that has transformed the lives of Kenyans.
“I would like to thank the Deputy President because he has ensured that we work together in unity, a move that has ensured that we serve Kenyans without internal squabbles and drawbacks,” President Kenyatta said.
THANKED RESIDENTS
The President used his tour of his home Kiambu County to heap unusual praise on the Deputy President.
President Kenyatta – who was accompanied by the Deputy President – spoke today in Kikuyu town, one of the stops he made during his tour of parts of Kiambu and Nairobi counties to thank residents for registering in large numbers in readiness for the August polls.
The President pointed out that his close working relations and camaraderie with the Deputy President have ensured that what appeared to be impossible to some people becomes possible.
7,000 KM OF ROAD
“For instance, the Opposition have been wondering how we have been able to construct more than 7,000 km of roads among other projects in the short span of four years, our answer to them is: unity and close cooperation between the Deputy President and I,” President Kenyatta said.
He added: “We have proved to Kenyans and the world that when leaders work together and shun things that could divide them, then surely a lot can be achieved with the citizens reaping the accruing benefits.”
The President emphasized that genuine leaders are those who are able to unite and work together in respect for the benefit of the people of Kenya like he and the Deputy President are doing.
