  • Dr Ruto reiterated that his move would unite the nation and propel the country to greater heights of development.
  • “I have decided that we form a government that will unify all of us so that every Kenyan will now play a part in building the nation. From now onwards, we will all seek ways of raising revenue together and paying our debts. Nobody will be left behind,” he said.

President William Ruto on Thursday justified the inclusion of the opposition figures in his government, saying it was intended to ensure that all Kenyans participate in building the nation. 

The President said to address the challenges facing the nation in the wake of protests by Gen Zs and members of civil society, he had made the hard decision of including the opposition in his administration.
