President William Ruto, after four years in power, has made 455 promises, but only 12 of them have been fulfilled.

This means only 2.6% of his promises have been fulfilled

From forest fires in N. America and N. Africa, heat waves in Europe, flash floods in South East Asia, devastating earthquakes in South America, twin volcanic eruptions in Indonesia and impending El Niño in the horn of Africa and the EA coast! Mother nature has gone full berserk!

When Uhuru left power, NSSF was at flat rate of KSh 200. For Ruto, it's 6% on the employer side and 6% on the employee side.

When Uhuru was leaving power, the dollar was KSh 118. Ruto took it to 160 and brought it down to 129.

When Uhuru was leaving power, petrol was going for KSh 158 with subsidy. Ruto took it to 217, brought it down to 178, and now it’s at 198 with subsidy.

When Uhuru was leaving power, the maximum NHIF contribution was KSh 1,700. For Ruto, it's 2.75% of your salary.

During Uhuru’s time, KSh 100 would give you about 6 KPLC units of tokens, but under Ruto you now get about 3 units for the same amount.

During Uhuru’s time, VAT across key sectors was 8%, but under Ruto it has gone up to 16%.

For Uhuru, affordable housing meant no deductions on your payslip, but under Ruto, you now have an additional mandatory deduction.

Despite all this, borrowing hasn’t stopped. In fact, it has picked up.

So, how has Ruto reduced the cost of living ?🤔

Former Makueni Gov Prof Kivutha Kibwana used only Ksh135 million to build the Makueni Mother and Child Hospital.
The fully equipped facility has 200 beds and serves over 100,000 people, making it a landmark health project in Lower Eastern.

President William Ruto has reportedly directed that 50 teaching slots be reserved for the Akorino community during TSC recruitment.

That directive, as stated, is unconstitutional.

📌 Article 27(4) of the Constitution of Kenya:

“The State shall not discriminate.... on grounds of religion.”

Reserving public jobs for a religious group is direct discrimination.

📌 Article 232(1)(g):

“Fair competition and merit” must be the basis of public appointments.

Pre-allocating slots undermines merit.

📌 Article 249(2)(b):

Constitutional commissions must operate independently and not be directed by any person.

The Teachers Service Commission cannot lawfully take hiring quotas from the President.

So this isn’t a small issue, it’s a constitutional breach on multiple fronts:

-Discrimination based on religion of other religions
-Violation of merit-based hiring
-Interference with an independent commission

Now, to be fair,

If a group is genuinely marginalized, the Constitution (Article 27(6)) allows affirmative action.

But that must be:

-grounded in law
-applied fairly
and not arbitrarily declared

Because once you open this door:

Today it’s Akorino.
What about Legio Maria and other Christian sects who can also claim minority status? What other small religions that aren't Christian or Muslim?

Who decides which religion or sect is a minority and gets jobs and which doesn’t?
That itself becomes discrimination.

I will call it what it is:
Unconstitutional, unlawful, and a dangerous precedent.

This is how you replace fairness with favoritism, one directive at a time.

If I’m missing something legally here, I’m open to correction.
But based on the Constitution, this doesn’t hold.
