President William Ruto has disclosed that some members of the clergy have approached him, asking him to go back on his campaign promises.
Speaking on Tuesday, Ruto said some of these leaders have gone to the extent of suggesting ways he can do this.
He said this is because of the culture that has been built previously, that campaign pledges are things that are said, without intention of fulfilling.
The president said this culture must come to an end.
"We've made campaign pledges to be what you say when seeking for votes when you don't actually mean to deliver on them. In fact, there are even leaders, including members of the clergy who have been sympathetic and tried with the best intentions to suggest ways of enabling the government and myself to run away from some of the commitments we made in the campaigns.
"Some clergy have said 'I think it's okay. You made a promise but it is difficult to keep so just ignore it' and it's because of the culture that has been built," Ruto said.
Ruto spokes during the signing of performance contracts by Cabinet Secretaries, at State House, Nairobi.
He insisted that his administration has to perform by all means, and it will not be business as usual.
"Many people did not believe that we were going to have Hustler fund, reduce the cost of fertilizer, hire 55,000 teachers in under one year because commitments had been made with no intention to keep them."
