Wednesday, January 24, 2024 - President William Ruto has read the riot act to a section of Mt Kenya region leaders who have kick-started a debate on2027 and 2032 succession politics.
Addressing residents of Gilgil town on Tuesday, the President
criticized the move saying it is an insult to Kenyans who elected them and
instead asked them to focus on what Kenyans elected them to do.
The Head of State additionally stressed that leaders should
put their focus on delivering on their assignments rather than take part in
succession debates that add no value to the electorate.
He particularly pointed out that leaders allied to the Kenya
Kwanza regime should be at the forefront of discharging their mandated roles,
adding that they should step down any contestations for whichever positions
present or future so that they can work as a team.
"Badala ya kufanya kazi tumerudi kupanga mambo ya
siasa ya huko mbele. Mimi nataka niwaulize jameni all leaders, I want to
tell all leaders it will be an insult to the people of Kenya that instead of
delivering on their assignments given to us by the people of Kenya, we have a
very cut-out assignment on matters of transformation of Kenya, how to create
jobs, how to expand our food production and ensure that every citizen has
access to universal health.”
"Let me ask all leaders that we focus our attention on
the delivery of the assignment that was given to us by the people of Kenya,
especially, leaders in Kenya Kwanza and UDA.”
“I want to ask them to step down any contestations for
whatever positions present or future so that we can work together, focus on
delivering to the people of Kenya and ensure that we keep our promise to the
people of Kenya so that we can discharge our commitment and the people of Kenya
can see us for who we are, leaders who are looking into the future,' Ruto said.
Further, the President urged young leaders to quit the rush
for the top positions, and instead focus on the current roles Kenyans elected
them to undertake.
