Nyeri Governor Mutahi Kahiga has urged President William Ruto to reassess his approach and ensure that his government meets the expectations of Kenyans.
Speaking during an interview on Thursday, January 9, Kahiga stated that Kenyans trusted in the president's vision and continue to have faith in it.
The governor, a staunch ally of Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua, pointed out that President Ruto still has sufficient time in office to fulfill his promises to the people.
“Mr. President, we elected you with a lot of love. We believed in your dream. We continue to believe in your dream. But please, walk back to the crossroads and find out where we lost it because you were a very popular candidate two years ago. Today as we stand, everybody is complaining. We still have three years to go.
"Kindly, if it means changing your advisors, please do change them so that you get back on track. We have so many programs being undertaken. We have a shortage of money and cash flow. Kindly, Mr. President, we must look for ways and means of ensuring that at least we have some projects that are complete. Let’s handle one thing at a time,” Kahiga remarked.

His remarks come after President Ruto on Thursday stated that his primary competitor in the 2027 General Election will be his government's track record.
The Head of State dismissed his critics, maintaining that his administration was on course to deliver its promises to the people.
"As of now, the competition is between me and my track record. These other competitors I haven't seen them. It has taken time to conclude our projects because I found the economy in a bad state. I can now say confidently that the economy of Kenya is in good standing," President Ruto stated.
