What the President needs to urgently do is to prioritise the expansion of economic opportunities, especially creating jobs for the many unemployed youth. It should not be about creating jobs for the big boys!

President William Ruto is keen to boost his chances of being re-elected to his second and final five-year term. It will not be easy as many voters are getting increasingly disenchanted with his leadership.
He, however, appears determined to expand his broad-based government as an insurance against possible electoral defeat. He has been mending fences with key rivals and allies he had fallen out with.
