"I agree with those saying we should know how each MP will have voted. I'm waiting to see that MP that will vote to object to the government's agenda to create jobs for these young Kenyans who voted for them. I'm waiting.
"I'm waiting to see the MPs who will go and vote against housing that will give these people a chance to own a decent home, with 5% mortgage when themselves as leaders are getting 3% mortgage from taxes paid by Kenyans. I want to see them," Ruto stated.
