Ruto to Mt Kenya: We’re proud of you for ending tribal politics
President William Ruto has said that he is proud of the Mt Kenya region for helping the country do away with tribal politics.
Speaking in Naromoru, during the thanksgiving service for Energy PS Alex Kamau, Ruto said because of this decision, the PS will work for all Kenyans.
The President said this also because they want to serve Kenyans in the manner in which they elected the Kenya Kwanza administration into office.
“Nyinyi watu wa mlima Kenya nasimama mbele yenu kusema tunawajivunia sana kwa sababu nyinyi mumetusaidia kuondoa ukabila katika siasa ya Kenya. Na kwa sababu wakenya, nyinyi watu wa mlima mkiongoza mlitupatia amri ya kwamba siasa ya Kenya isiwe na ukabila ndio sababu huyu Alex (Energy PS) atafanya Kazi sehemu yote ya taifa la Kenya because we want to serve in the manner in which you elected us,” Ruto said on Saturday.

This loosely translates to, “You people of Mt Kenya, I stand before you to say that we are proud of you because you helped us end tribal politics in Kenya. And because Kenyans led by you, the people of Mt Kenya directed that Kenyan politics should not be tribal is the reason Alex will work in every part of the country.”
President Ruto said despite the challenges that existed then, the Central region residents asked them to unite the country and that is exactly what will happen.
He affirmed his commitment to seeing this happen.
“You told us that despite the challenges that were there, you wanted us to unite Kenya and I want to assure you that this government that God has blessed us with, we’ll use it to unite the country,” he said.
The President was accompanied by a host of elected leaders including his deputy Rigathi Gachagua, some cabinet secretaries, Governors, senators, and members of the National Assembly from the region.
