President William Ruto has announced that he will implement some of the recommendations made by The Kenyan youth.
The President says he has heard them and appreciates their opinions.
He continued by saying that he would put things into practice that he could, such as reducing government offices and spending.
“My good sons and daughters let me tell you that I value what you do. I have heard what you have said, I have seen what you have done and you have made recommendations. Some, I will outright implement on cutting down on government and cutting down on offices that we can,” Ruto declared.
The Head of State stated the youth have also presented him with difficult decisions, and he will meet with them before the end of the week to discuss how to move forward.
According to Ruto, young people should be ready to participate and should have clear ideas for how the nation should proceed.
“I will deal with some of the issues you have raised. You have given me some difficult choices I will suggest to you how we can together go about the difficult choices you have put on the table on some of the issues. I want to promise you that in the engagement we are going to have, God willing, in the next couple of days. We’ve agreed with some of your colleagues here maybe Thursday, or Friday.”
The President stated that there must be respect during the engagement.
Furthermore, he said, all Kenyans have just one home, therefore they must safeguard it by all means possible and in accordance with the law.
“My request to you is that we have a country to keep. It is the only home we have and we must do whatever it is that we do within the parameters of the law respecting one another and talking to one another with respect so that we can move forward together as a country. I am looking forward to this engagement,” Ruto remarked.
