President William Ruto has restated his opposition to legal proceedings that he alleges are undermining his efforts to deliver on promises to the Kenyan people.
Speaking at a church service in Soy, Uasin Gishu County, Ruto insisted that despite a court ruling against it, his administration’s Affordable Housing project must proceed.
Ruto maintained his earlier assertions that certain judiciary officials are influenced by bribes to issue rulings against his government, vowing to continue the fight for the benefit of citizens.
“We cannot collaborate to undermine fellow Kenyans. We cannot plot to thwart initiatives aimed at assisting millions of unemployed Kenyans,” stated Ruto.
The president urged fellow leaders to come together to create job opportunities for Kenyans and advised against unnecessary competition.
“There is no competition between the executive, judiciary, or legislature. We must collaborate for the well-being of the millions of Kenyans who pay taxes and rely on us,” added Ruto.
These remarks follow recent comments by the president accusing some judiciary officials of accepting bribes to oppose his plans. Ruto’s statements received widespread criticism, including from the judiciary itself and various prominent voices in the country.
Chief Justice Martha Koome expressed concern that the accusations were endangering the independence of the Judiciary and posed a potential threat to stability.
