President William Ruto has called on his critics to desist from incessant criticism of his administration, accusing them of being deficient of alternatives.
The article from MSN discusses Kenyan President William Ruto's response to criticism from his Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua and other allies. Ruto has publicly addressed the ongoing internal conflicts within his administration, particularly focusing on Gachagua's recent comments about the government's approach to development and resource allocation. Ruto emphasized the importance of unity and warned against divisive politics, stating that his administration would not tolerate actions that undermine national cohesion. He also highlighted his commitment to equitable development across all regions of Kenya, not just areas that supported his election. This comes amidst reports of a growing rift between Ruto and Gachagua, with the latter expressing discontent over perceived marginalization of the Mt. Kenya region in government appointments and development projects.
