President Ruto explained why he stayed away from Mt Kenya for six months, saying he'd present his achievements for the area. During a TV interview Monday night before his regional visit, Ruto dismissed claims that his popularity has fallen. He promised his critics would be surprised by what he's accomplished.
"I'll show everything I've done with electricity, affordable housing, markets, and more starting Tuesday," Ruto stated. He rejected suggestions that he avoided Mt Kenya because people there might not welcome him. Instead, he emphasized his commitment to delivering what he promised the region.
Ruto announced he plans to spend plenty of time in Mt Kenya going forward. "I'll stay in Mt Kenya until people start asking if I have any other places to visit," he declared. The president maintained that his five-day tour comes at just the right time to display what his administration has achieved there.
He resisted measuring his support based on his recent absence. "You can't judge my popularity by the fact I haven't visited for a short time. I've built strong connections with people across this region," Ruto explained during the interview. He firmly denied deliberately staying away from Mt Kenya for any reason, challenging his critics to "see for themselves" during his upcoming visit.
