Deputy President William Ruto has said that the Jubilee government will not waste time on leaders engaging in sideshows at the expense of development.
Speaking during a business-oriented fundraiser at Meru National Polytechnic on Friday, Ruto said that the Jubilee regime is committed to delivering on its promises. He noted that the current leadership will not be swayed to abandon its development agenda.
The DP noted that the President Uhuru Kenyatta-led government will ensure all the promises made before the 2017 polls are fulfilled. He also said elected leaders do not need to waste their time on issues that are not related to development before Uhuru completes his second term in office.
"I have come to Meru several times and I will keep coming until I streamline the issues affecting this country. As Jubilee leaders, we were elected on the promise of delivering development and all of us must do that. The rest have nothing much but to make noise," he said, as quoted by the Daily Nation.
Ruto also toured the Meru Level Five Hospital where he interacted with patients and members of staff.
He also promised that the government will deliver ICU equipment worth Sh100 million to the facility.
Ruto further said that the national government will establish a cancer centre to offer screening and other services to residents in the region.
