Ruto Defends Record in Kericho as Kindiki Highlights Development Scorecard - September 2026

President William Ruto launched a strong defense of his administration's performance in Kericho, asserting he has fulfilled key campaign promises amid opposition criticism. Deputy President Kithure Kindiki lauded the National Infrastructure Fund as a solution to Kenya's road financing challenges and pledged major road projects in Mt. Kenya East, stating Ruto's development scorecard is extensive and impossible to ignore. Ruto separately stated Kenya has experienced its lowest borrowing levels since he assumed office in 2022, attributing current debt challenges to predecessors. The government and opposition continue heated exchanges over financial management and stalled development projects as the 2027 general election approaches.
