Thursday, January 30, 2025 - Deputy President Kithure Kindiki has praised President William Ruto for making extraordinary strides in Kenya's economic recovery within just two years.
Speaking yesterday, Kindiki
trashed late former President Mwai Kibaki’s performance record, saying it was nothing
compared to what Ruto has done in just two years.
Kindiki, known for his measured
approach, attributed Ruto's quick economic turnaround to his ability to address
key macroeconomic issues head-on, something that even Kibaki had struggled with
during his first term.
"There is no economics. You
cannot deal with the microeconomic issues unless you tackle interest rates,
strength of the currency, da-da-da-da-da.”
“It took Kibaki five years, it
has taken William Ruto two years. Ruto is on the right track to improving our
economy," Kindiki said, highlighting the progress made.
He acknowledged that Ruto faced
two major challenges during the first two years; first, the fierce external
opposition, and second, internal conflicts within his government.
Kindiki underscored that despite
these hurdles, Ruto managed to stabilise the economy and lay down the
foundations for further growth.
"And in these two years, one year, he had a very, very, very disruptive opposition from outside. The second year, he had a terrible opposition from inside his government.
"Yet, he
has brought the kind of impact that I have told you at the macro level,"
Kindiki added.
