President William Ruto has maintained that he will shame his critics by delivering on his ambitious promises that some Kenyans have harshly ridiculed.
Speaking during a church service in Elgeyo Marakwet, President Ruto scoffed at those fond of heckling his public speeches with the now-famous chant “uongo” (lies), noting that their ridicule will not stop him from actualizing his development plan.
He asserted that he is privy to the mandate given to him by Kenyans and cannot afford to have his administration make detrimental blunders.
“I see some people are worried, saying I am telling lies. I want to tell those saying that what we say will not be fulfiled, we will embarrass you in a short while,” he noted.
“We are going to make sure that we acquit ourselves of every commitment we have made, and I am not a mad man, I know what I am doing so we will plan all things.”
President Ruto further noted that he will focus on bolstering the quality of education in the nation from junior to university levels to enrich the nation’s skilled capital.
He added that he will streamline the farming sector to revive the ailing economy and do the same to the healthcare system through the controversial Social Health Authority (SHA) programme.

President Ruto dismisses ‘must go’ chants, says he’s not bothered
This comes a day after President Ruto downplayed growing criticism and chants of ‘Ruto must go,’ likening them to recycled political slogans that have historically trailed Kenyan Heads of State.
Speaking at Ramba High School in Siaya County during the burial service of George Oduor, a longtime bodyguard to opposition leader Raila Odinga, President Ruto said such calls were neither new nor troubling to him.
“Sasa nyinyi mnaniambia Ruto must go, mimi nimeskia hiyo mara mingi. Kulikuwa na ‘Moi must go’ na mengine…hii ‘must go’ ni wimbo tu ya kawaida, there is no problem. Shida iko wapi?” he posed.
He also cited the many nicknames he has been branded by critics online since assuming office, saying he is unbothered by them and is instead focused on fulfilling his mandate.
