President William Ruto has called on Kenyans to evaluate his administration based on its performance rather than political rhetoric, saying his government’s record should be the ultimate measure of its leadership.
Speaking during a church service in Embu County on Sunday, the President said his administration has remained focused on delivering tangible development despite growing political criticism ahead of the 2027 General Election. He argued that the government’s achievements in key sectors demonstrate its commitment to improving the lives of citizens.
Ruto pointed to progress in education, healthcare, agriculture, affordable housing and infrastructure, saying these initiatives reflect the promises his administration made when it took office. He maintained that development projects underway across the country are evidence that the government is fulfilling its mandate.
The President also urged leaders to prioritize service delivery over political campaigns, noting that national development should take precedence over divisive politics. He said leaders should be judged by the impact of their work rather than the intensity of political debate.
His remarks come amid heightened political activity, with alliances beginning to take shape ahead of the next general election. In recent weeks, the President has defended his administration’s development agenda while responding to criticism from political opponents and former allies.
Ruto reaffirmed his confidence that voters will assess his presidency based on the outcomes of government programmes rather than campaign narratives. He said his focus remains on implementing policies aimed at improving livelihoods, expanding economic opportunities and strengthening public services.
The President reiterated that his administration will continue rolling out development projects across the country, expressing confidence that the government’s performance will speak for itself when Kenyans eventually return to the ballot.
