Reactions

Reactions to President William Ruto’s meeting with youth on X Spaces are expected to dominate conversations today after the head of state announced a host of measures geared towards slashing government expenditure and curbing corruption.

Unsatisfactory remarks from different factions continue to overshadow the president’s largely reformatory speech where he promised among other things the dissolution of up to 47 state corporations, suspension of all non-essential travel for state officials, reduction of government advisers, and the suspension of the purchase of new vehicles for state officials for six months.

Critics have continued to fault Ruto’s conversational approach, calling it a hoax if not supported by immediate executive action and a show of goodwill from his administration.
