President William Ruto now says bold decisions will help unlock the country's potential.
Speaking on Wednesday, June 7 in Nairobi during the National Prayer Breakfast, President Ruto insisted that the Government was committed to the implementation of affordable housing to tame unemployment and slum proliferation.
"As we participate in this debate let us ask God to make us see the choices that we have to make.
“We must choose between running our country with tax revenues or living beyond our means in more debt," the President stated.

The Head of State asked leaders to be united by a vision of a strong, secure, and prosperous Kenya.
“Our commitment is under test; only bold decisions will make us unlock our potential," he said.
The President maintained that no leader should afford to pursue an agenda of sabotage in the name of competition.
“Although our ideas may differ, we must never wish that this nation fails, or that her people suffer, just to vindicate our politics. The pursuit of political aspirations must further justice in the country," the President noted.
Present were Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua, First Lady Rachel Ruto, Pastor Dorcas Gachagua, Prime Cabinet Secretary Musalia Mudavadi, Speaker of the National Assembly Moses Wetang’ula, Speaker of the Senate Amason Kingi, Attorney General Justin Muturi, Cabinet Secretaries, MPs, among other leaders.
Mr Gachagua said even as the country reconciles with God and man, “we must reconcile with the truth”.
Mr Mudavadi said the Government will keep on pursuing pro-people policies even with the wave of criticism from the Opposition.
Mr Wetang’ula called for leaders to be progressive in their approach to issues if Kenya is to overcome extreme poverty.
His sentiments were echoed by Mr Kingi: “We must work together to ensure that we uplift the underprivileged in the society.”
Guest Speaker Dr Michael Hastings of Scarisbrick, UK House of Lords asked leaders to be responsible for their deeds.
