After two years at the helm, President William Ruto has made headlines with a series of impressive accomplishments that are reshaping Kenya. Here’s a look at the seven major achievements that are making waves across the nation.
- Affordable Unga for All
One of President Ruto’s most celebrated victories is the dramatic reduction in the price of unga. Under his leadership, the cost of a 2kg packet of unga has plummeted from Ksh 230 to an affordable Ksh 100. This move has provided significant relief to Kenyan households grappling with the high cost of living.
- Stabilized Kenyan Shilling
In a remarkable display of economic prowess, Ruto’s administration has managed to stabilize the Kenyan Shilling against the Dollar. This stabilization has helped curb inflation and foster a more predictable economic environment for businesses and consumers alike.
- Completion of Kenol-Sagana Road
Infrastructure development has also seen a major boost. The completion of the Kenol-Sagana Road is a game-changer, improving connectivity and easing travel in the region. This road not only reduces travel time but also supports local economies by facilitating trade and mobility.
- Job Creation Through Affordable Housing
The Affordable Housing Programme has been a cornerstone of Ruto’s economic strategy. By creating 160,000 jobs, this initiative has provided employment opportunities for many Kenyans, contributing to economic stability and growth.
- Development of Housing Units
The completion of 112,405 housing units marks a significant milestone in addressing Kenya’s housing deficit. This development not only offers affordable housing options but also stimulates various sectors, from construction to real estate.
- Employment of 56,000 Teachers
Education has also seen substantial improvements with the hiring of 56,000 new teachers. This move aims to reduce the teacher-to-student ratio and enhance the quality of education across the country.
- Streamlining the Competence-Based Curriculum
Finally, Ruto’s administration has successfully streamlined the Competence-Based Curriculum, making it more effective and accessible. This reform is designed to better prepare students for the workforce and meet the evolving needs of the job market.
These achievements underscore President Ruto’s commitment to transforming Kenya and improving the lives of its citizens.
