'Hawana agenda, hawana akili': President Ruto sustains attacks on opposition leaders

President William Ruto has accused opposition leaders of lacking clear policies and a development agenda and only focusing on attacking the government rather than offering solutions.

The President was in Narok County on Tuesday, where he also announced a Ksh.500 reduction in the price of fertilizer and pledged to cut the cost of maize seed by 50 per cent. 

President Ruto held a series of political rallies in Enengetia, Ololulunga, Olposimoru and other areas.

He used the rallies to lash out at his opponents who he accused of offering no clear direction to Kenyans but empty political rhetoric with no viable development agenda.

“Wale wengine wote ambao wanajaribu hapo ni watu bure. Si mnajua hawa watu? Mpango hawana, agenda hawana, maono hawana, sera hawana, hata akili... Mnawajua?” President Ruto stated. 

The Head of State also rallied support for the broad-based government, saying ODM and UDA supporters will, for the first time in Narok County, be pulling in the same direction.

“Mnajua hapa Narok tulikuwa tunashindana na Raila Odinga, kura nusu ODM, kura nusu UDA. Lakini sasa kura yetu si itakuwa mia kwa mia?” He posed. 

To offer relief to farmers who recorded poor returns this season, the President announced that the price of fertilizer will be reduced by Ksh.500, while the cost of maize seed will be cut by 50 per cent. 

“Nimesema ile mbegu ya kuzalisha mahindi kwa sababu ndio chakula ya Wakenya. Mbegu ya mwaka huu na mwaka ujao tutapunguza by 50 per cent, pamoja na mbolea kwa Ksh.500," he remarked. 

President Ruto officially opened the modern Ololulunga Market and launched the construction of a 20-kilometre road linking Ololulunga to Ewaso Ng’iro.

The President further pledged that roads covering a total of 300 kilometres would be completed across Narok.
