President William Ruto has emphasized his commitment to fulfilling what he describes as a divine assignment to transform Kenya. Speaking after attending a church service at the United Pentecostal Church of Kenya in Dagoretti North, Nairobi, the President expressed deep gratitude for the leadership position he holds and reiterated his resolve to lead the country towards transformation.
Ruto believes that his election as President is part of a God-given mandate, and he intends to honor it by working towards the betterment of the nation. In his address, he stressed the importance of unity in achieving this transformation, highlighting that no single individual, political party, or region can drive change on their own. Instead, he called for collective effort from all sectors of society to bring about the change the country needs.
“I have every intention to make sure we transform our nation. It is the reason I am ready to work with all leaders and unite all Kenyans to fulfill God’s plan. One man, one party, one region cannot do it, but all of us united, we can achieve much together,” Ruto stated.
The President also responded to critics who have speculated about his tenure, addressing the debates on his presidency’s future. He acknowledged that a few years ago, there were doubts about his potential to become president. Today, however, Ruto expressed pride in his leadership role, reflecting on how far he has come and how he has overcome skepticism.
“Some people thought I would never be president, but here I am, and I am very proud to serve as the President of the Republic of Kenya,” he said.
Ruto was accompanied by several prominent leaders, including Nairobi Governor Johnson Sakaja, Members of Parliament such as George Aladwa, Felix Odiwuor, and John Kiarie, as well as other political figures who were present at the service. His message of unity and transformation resonated strongly with the gathered leaders and congregation alike.
