  • The president concluded the message with a rallying call that “the Kenya we want” was within sight.
  • “In 2025, we will be busier at school and work, better nourished, safer, more secure, and with more money in our pockets. We will hold productive national conversations to empower our youth as responsible custodians of our shared aspirations and to solidify our State as a robust and secure democracy. We will continue to work hard and deliver greater progress, becoming better equipped to tackle our challenges,” he said.

President William Ruto has expressed optimism in the New Year insisting that the fruits of his flagship projects such as Universal Health Coverage, affordable housing, the higher education funding model, Hustler Fund, subsidised farm inputs, and job creation will be realised.

“In 2025, the seeds we have patiently and carefully planted will continue to germinate and grow. The progress we have made has set us firmly on a path of rapid and sustainable growth. As a result, we can anticipate stronger economic performance, more jobs for our youth, and higher incomes for farmers and entrepreneurs. Additionally, we expect that in 2025, more investments will mature, leading to a considerable expansion of our manufacturing sector and an increase in exports,” he said, adding that Kenya’s economy was one of the world’s fastest-growing.
