President William Ruto has asked leaders across the political divide to support his plans to make Kenya food secure, create jobs, and provide universal healthcare to all Kenyans.
Speaking on Monday, January 8, at Kamagut Primary School in Uasin Gishu County, Ruto said leaders should put the interest of Kenyans above their own by supporting initiatives aimed at creating jobs for the citizens.
"We have leaders in this country who have never gone hungry, gone without shoes, and have not sold property to pay hospital bills. They should not use the money they have to pay lawyers and frustrate efforts to have millions of Kenyans get jobs and access universal healthcare," remarked the Head of State.
The President noted that food insecurity, unemployment, and lack of healthcare access to all have delayed the transformation of Kenya.

"As a country, we must break away from our past and move ahead to get where the countries that left us behind are in terms of transformation," Ruto stated.
At the same time, the Head of State asked the Judiciary, as it executes its mandate, to be mindful of the welfare of Kenyans without jobs and those who have no access to healthcare.
"Our courts should be patriotic, they should think about the welfare of the millions of Kenyans who don't have jobs," President Ruto.
The Head of State maintained that there was no war between the Judiciary and other independent institutions, saying service delivery among such institutions should be for the benefit of all Kenyans.
