On Tuesday, Deputy President William Ruto addressed hundreds of residents in Sultan Hamud, Makueni County, where he unveiled his 'Bottom-up' economic plan.

According to Ruto, the plan is designed to empower Kenyans, particularly those in small businesses and the informal sector, who are already contributing to the economy through tax remittances.

'When I said that let us start with those who are jobless, before debating on amending the Constitution and sharing positions, is that an incitement?' Ruto posed, addressing claims by his opponents that he is using 'Bottom-Up' to incite the youth.

Ruto assured that his government would accommodate all Kenyans, and that no one would be left behind.

He expressed confidence that his team would form the next government and that the Bottom-Up approach would be realised in his administration.
