A group of women leaders has called on Kenyans to support President William Ruto’s bid for a second term, citing what they described as his strong development record and commitment to inclusive governance.
Led by Kirinyaga Governor Anne Waiguru, the leaders spoke during a women empowerment event hosted by Taita Taveta Woman Representative Lydia Haika in Taita Taveta County.
The leaders praised President Ruto’s development initiatives, saying his administration has demonstrated fairness in the distribution of national resources and inclusivity in government appointments. They argued that ongoing development projects across the country are evidence of the administration’s commitment to improving livelihoods.
Waiguru dismissed claims that the Mt Kenya region had abandoned President Ruto and urged residents to continue supporting government-led development initiatives.
Nakuru Governor Susan Kihika echoed the sentiments, saying the President has shown commitment to empowering women leaders and promoting equitable development nationwide.
During the event, households and community groups received tents, wheelchairs, water tanks, cooking pots, and handcarts as part of the empowerment programme.
