President William Ruto got very angry when he visited Kakamega County. He found out that the person who was given the job to build a road had done nothing.
The contractor was paid to make the road, but the road is still the same. It is dusty and full of potholes. The people in the area have been waiting for a long time, but there is no road.
President Ruto did not hide his anger. He said the contractor has failed badly. He said the man is lazy and does not respect the people of Kakamega. Ruto spoke in a strong voice and said, “I have told him to leave the job and go burn charcoal.
He has wasted time, wasted money, and done nothing.” The people who had come to listen to him started clapping and shouting because they agreed with him.
Ruto said the government cannot continue to work with lazy people who do not finish the jobs they are given. He said public money must be used well and work must be done properly.
He promised that a better and more serious contractor will now be given the job. This new contractor will be told to finish the road without wasting time.
The President also sent a strong warning to all other contractors across Kenya. He said if they take jobs and fail to work, they will be removed the same way. He said Kenya is changing, and lazy people will not be allowed to spoil things for others.
Many people in Kakamega were happy. They said they have suffered for too long because of bad roads. Some said even ambulances cannot pass well when it rains.
They now have hope that the road will be built the right way. They thanked the President for taking action and promised to support his leadership.
