During morning church service at the Deliverance Church International in Lang’ata, President William Ruto addressed a range of critical topics that underscore his administration’s commitment to improving the lives of Kenyan citizens.
One of the key highlights of President Ruto’s speech was the significant expansion of Universal Health Coverage (UHC). Last week President Ruto deployed 100,000 community health promoters to remote villages, ensuring that essential healthcare services are accessible to all Kenyan residents. This proactive approach places a strong emphasis on preventive healthcare, a cornerstone of well-being.
Additionally, President Ruto emphasized the importance of bolstering trade and commerce. His government has laid out plans to establish 20 traders’ markets in Nairobi, a move that promises to empower small traders and entrepreneurs. This initiative not only stimulates local economies but also generates numerous job opportunities for Kenyan citizens.
Education was another focal point, with the recruitment of 56,000 teachers signifying a pivotal moment in the country’s education system. By enhancing the quality of education, his government aims to provide better opportunities for students, ultimately contributing to a more skilled and knowledgeable workforce.
To address financial barriers hindering access to education, his government is extending 100% scholarships to 45,000 students from vulnerable families, effectively breaking the cycle of poverty and expanding access to education.
President Ruto’s administration maintains a steadfast commitment to youth empowerment, as evidenced by the construction of 31,000 housing units and the establishment of ICT Hubs in every ward. These initiatives not only address housing challenges but also harness the potential of the digital age to create employment opportunities for the nation’s youth.
Moreover, President Ruto acknowledged the concerns regarding the rising cost of living, signaling a government that is actively engaged in finding solutions to mitigate its impact on citizens.
President Ruto’s commitment to improving healthcare, education, trade, and youth opportunities, while simultaneously addressing pressing concerns, provides a promising roadmap towards a brighter and more prosperous future for all Kenyan citizens.
