President William Ruto attacked people demanding his early departure from office during a business event Friday. Ruto spoke at the Kenyatta International Convention Centre for Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises Day. He called recent political talk about single terms a waste of time. The president said Kenya faces bigger problems that need attention. He reminded citizens that the constitution already limits presidential service to two terms maximum.
Ruto told political opponents to create better development ideas instead of demanding his exit. He said removing leaders without replacement plans helps nobody. The president emphasized that good policies matter more than how long someone stays in power. He asked critics to explain exactly what they mean when they call for his removal. Ruto said economic growth and public services should be the main focus.
Recent violent demonstrations across the country drew sharp criticism from the president. Ruto promised to punish people who damaged property and stole goods during protests. He said peaceful disagreement belongs in democracy but criminal behavior does not. The president stressed that protesters must follow the law during demonstrations. He defended the right to oppose government actions through proper channels.
Political discussions about presidential terms have increased across Kenya in recent months. Opposition leaders and some citizens question whether Ruto should seek reelection in 2027. The president dismissed these conversations as distractions from real governance work. He urged Kenyans to judge his administration based on actual results rather than political speculation. Ruto said his government remains committed to transforming the economy and improving services.
