President William Ruto’s administration had been urged to deliver on its development agenda and policies it promised Kenyans.

The counsel comes amidst measures taken by Ruto to form a broad-based government by incorporating a section of leaders from Raila Odinga’s Orange Democratic Movement (ODM) party into Cabinet. A section of leaders, who were interviewed at K24 TV on Wednesday night, told the President and his new Cabinet to cease making more promises to Kenyans but focus on delivering development and reviving the economy.

Githunguri MP Gathoni Wamuchomba said the entry of ODM leaders into Cabinet will enhance endorsement of government policies in Parliament and muzzle its oversight role.

“I will tell you for a fact that this is a government that is credited for giving people false information. It keeps on contradicting itself on a daily basis by promising heaven and delivering hell,” Wamuchomba said.

Wamuchomba accused Ruto of ‘curing economic problems facing the country through politics’.

“They will carry the broad-based problems together. No wonder he (Ruto) has now been traversing parts of the country on the car rooftop while making more promises. The President’s type of leadership is questionable and that is why the Gen Zs were protesting on the streets,” the MP said.

Nyeri Town MP Duncan Mathenge said Ruto’s previous Cabinet had failed to adequately communicate the government policies to the public.

“The previous Cabinet had a huge gap in communicating the policies that were being implemented. This current Cabinet should take note of that fact and up its game in terms of communication. The communication and delivery are conjoined,” Mathenge said.
