“Ruto carries a deliberate plan, however unsavory, to inject permanent reforms to the nation for posterity,”
Mbeere North Member of Parliament,Geoffrey Ruku has put forward that all legislators elected into office after Kenya gained its independence in 1963 owe Kenyans an apology.
In Ruku’s view, the MPs were tasked with the role of forging laws that would benefit the electorate and have otherwise failed.
During an interview with Citizen TV on 13th December, the Member of Parliament says that 60 years after Kenya has gained independence, the nation has not yet enjoyed fruits of its independence.
“If there are people who need to apologise to Kenyans is anybody who has ever been an MP from 1963 to now because that premium platform where Kenyans send representatives to go and shape the way things are done in the country they have failed Kenyans in a big way,” claimed Ruku.
According to Ruku, stacking up praises for the current government of William Ruto, is expressing hopefulness that Kenyans will experience real results under the current government’s rule.
“Ruto carries a deliberate plan, however unsavory, to inject permanent reforms to the nation for posterity.
“… President Ruto is trying to do to make very painful decisions that are not popular to many Kenyans,” Ruku explained.
60TH JAMHURI DAY
As Kenya celebrated the 60th Jamhuri Day on Tuesday, a reflection on the vision of the founding fathers for post-independence Kenya was ripe for questioning.
In 1963, the founding father President Jomo Kenyatta declared war on three key issues; poverty, disease and ignorance and also ensure that every Kenyan child was educated.
Four governments later, the passionate vision of the founding fathers has been put away by poor governance structures and ills like corruption and a thirst for power.
However President William Ruto in his Jamhuri Day speech, acknowledged that the country’s GDP has grown by up to 5.4% in the last 6 months.
Nevertheless, the real impact of this economic growth is yet to be fully realised by thousands of Kenyans still living below the poverty line and struggling to attain economic freedom in the 60 years since Kenya attained independence.
