When President Ruto came into office, the economy was at the brink of collapsing. The loans Mr. Aura had borrowed to finance BBI, Reggae, Northlands City and Pandora Papers were almost maturing. The dollar was at Ksh. 162, fuel at Ksh. 217 and unga at Ksh. 230. Agreements made with workers had not been honored. The coffers were empty and the economy dilapidated. Out of every 10 bob collected through taxation, 7 was going into servicing debts.
Tough decisions had to be made. Both hands had to be on the deck. President Ruto had his back against the wall, but relentlessly took charge. Three years down the line, Kenya has become a construction site, food production is exceptionally impressive through Projects like Galana Kulalu and subsidized production, 28 million Kenyans now registered under SHA. This is a man on a mission; choosing to do what is right instead of what is popular.
