Kibaki left a national debt of KES 1.8 trillion.
Uhuru Kenyatta left a debt of KES 8.6 trillion. #TheTruthVsTheTrend!
Uhuru inherited a strong economy, spending a paltry KES 300 million on debt servicing.
Ruto came in when the country’s fiscal space was very tight. Kenya had been listed among 6 African countries that were about to default on debt obligation. Inflation was through the roof.
Over 60% of revenue is spent on paying interest accrued on debts borrowed by Uhuru.
Very little is left for development.
Despite all this, Ruto has delivered in many aspects as compared to Uhuru.
In 3 years, Ruto has hired 100,000 new teachers, streamlined the confusion in CBC, and constructed 23,000 new classrooms.
Inflation has plummeted from 9.6% in October 2022 to 4.4%.
The forex reserves that were lowest in the history of our country now stand at $13.3 billion, up from less than $6 billion.
Fertilizer that cost 7,500 is now KES 2,500.
Unga that was costing KES 250 is now trading at between KES 110 and 150.
Coffee farmers are smiling all the way to the bank because of the best prices they are getting, from KES 50 to between KES 120 and 160.
Ruto has in fact created 842,000 new jobs, way better than Uhuru Kenyatta ever did.
