Prime Cabinet Secretary Musalia Mudavadi has come to the defence of President William Ruto, describing him as a determined leader who is more interested in lasting impact than public approval. Speaking during a press briefing, Mudavadi said Ruto’s leadership is guided by a strategic and long-term blueprint to uplift the country.
“I know the President in ways most people don’t,” Mudavadi shared. “He’s not concerned with noise. He’s focused on building something that will outlive his presidency.”
According to Mudavadi, many of the unpopular policies and economic decisions implemented by Ruto’s administration are part of a broader national transformation plan. He argued that while the effects may be uncomfortable now, they are necessary to secure a stable future for Kenya.
“Leadership is not about what feels good now,” he said. “It’s about choosing what’s right for the next generation.”
The Prime CS appealed to citizens to give the President time and space to deliver, explaining that significant change often takes time to bear fruit.
“President Ruto doesn’t shy away from difficulty. He’s laying bricks for a Kenya that can stand tall long after he’s gone,” he remarked.
Mudavadi, a seasoned politician, also warned against expecting instant results. He said real progress comes from bold and deliberate choices, not easy ones meant to win applause.
“Nations are not built through convenience. It’s the difficult decisions that count,” he added.
In closing, Mudavadi called on Kenyans to stand with Ruto during this challenging phase, noting that true development is never immediate, but always worth the wait.
“Let’s walk this journey with him,” he said. “Because once the dust settles, Kenya will be better for it.”
