Deputy President William Ruto has said his Jubilee team is assured of a first round resounding win, owing to the fact that more Kenyans support President Kenyatta today than in 2013.
Speaking on Monday in Kisii, Ruto said more leaders from across the country have joined the president’s team, and will boost his chances of winning.
“In 2013 Chris Obure (Kisii Senator and the gubernatorial candidate in this election), Bungoma Governor Ken Lusaka, Salim Mvurya (Kwale Governor), Gideon Mungaro (Kilifi gubernatorial candidate) and many others were not with us but today they are supporting President Kenyatta,” said the DP.
The DP said Kenyans should rally behind President Kenyatta so that the country’s growth momentum is not disrupted.
Ruto further took pride in the environment his government has provided for business in the country, saying we have moved from position 137 to position 92 in the ease of doing business ranking of all countries in the world.
The Deputy President also pointed out that 1532 new companies including Volkswagen, Peugeot and Wrigleys have started operations in Kenya in the last four years.
“Kenya is going places. Those in the opposition should explain why Kenya stagnated when they were running the government,” said the DP.
The deputy, who was together with Kenyatta and other host of Kisii MPs said his administration has expanded the road network in Kisii to a greater length.
