Message: [QUOTE="Munyaradzi Mafaro, post: 31111, member: 636"] Kenya's President Ruto fired back at people who attacked his long trip to Mt Kenya. During his stop in Chuka, he made it clear that he was checking on building projects, not playing politics. Ruto asked the crowd if they had talked about political parties or if they talked about progress instead. He pointed out that critics complain when he stays at his office but also complain when he travels around the country. Ruto told his critics to find something better to do since the citizens wanted him to visit their areas. The president had just given police officers 60 new homes built by his government. He also looked at several major projects, including the $112 million Chogoria market, the $60 million Gatunga market, and new affordable houses in Chuka. Earlier that day, he started work on a water system at Kamburu Dam that will help 88,000 people. Deputy President Kindiki promised the local people he would make sure all the president's plans happened fast. He explained that his main job involves carrying out what the president wants done as his helper. The local governor asked Ruto to ignore claims that the region doesn't back him. The governor praised Ruto for picking Kindiki as deputy and suggested keeping him through 2032. The local member of parliament agreed with these comments and listed many improvements in his area. He challenged critics to visit Chuka Igamba Ng'ombe to see all the new markets, houses, and police buildings. The MP also denied rumors about paying people to attend these events, saying citizens came because they cared about their new markets, hospitals, and roads that Ruto's administration had built.
