Published on January 14, 2022, Deputy President William Ruto has urged Kenyans to support a leader who will take care of their interests.
Speaking during a series of rallies in Kasarani and Roysambu Constituencies, Dr Ruto said he will focus on addressing the needs and aspirations of ordinary people.
He challenged Kenyans not to be hoodwinked by those fronting a “project” only interested in protecting their own interests.
“Votes are with the people; they are the ones who will decide,” Dr Ruto said.
Dr Ruto’s team will reform the National Hospital Insurance Fund (NHIF) contributions so that those with higher earnings pay more. Those without an income will have their bit settled by the Government.
“This progressive healthcare plan will ensure that every Kenyan accesses affordable and quality care. It will also deliver thousands of families from the bondage of medical bills that continue to impoverish them,” Dr Ruto said.
A section of MPs echoed Dr Ruto’s sentiments, asking Kenyans to reject a state-sponsored candidate.
MPs George Theuri (Embakasi West), Kimani Ichung’wah (Kikuyu), James Gakuya (Embakasi North), Rigathi Gachagua (Mathira), Benjamin Gathiru (Embakasi Central) and Nixon Korir (Lang’ata) were among those present.
They vowed to throw their weight behind the people’s choice to defeat the state-sponsored project.
