President William Ruto has urged Kenyans to ignore naysayers, insisting that the country is on a steady recovery trajectory.

Speaking on Sunday, Ruto said there are people who wish the country bad but he is certain Kenya will not fall.

He said this is evident because God has placed Kenya in a better and more stable place than it was two years ago.

The President noted that while many didn’t believe his administration had the capacity to stabilise food prices and the economy, it has come to pass.

“There are enemies of our country who wish us bad, but I want to tell you that Kenya will not fall. Kenya is strong and will develop. We are going to go places, and it is evident God has put our country on recovery.

“Not many believed we would reduce food prices; not many believed we would do affordable housing, but we are doing it,” Ruto said.

He added that citizens must ignore the critics, as they do not have a vision of where the country is headed.

Ruto said the transformation of the country is not about him or whoever will come in as the next leader of the country.

He insisted that it is about the collective well-being of the country and all people.

“We are making steady steps in the transformation of our nation. Forget the naysayers; Kenya is going to march forward steadily. Forget those who don’t see that we have an opportunity to change our country. This is not about anyone; it is not about me or the next leader of Kenya.”

He further noted that God has given him the special assignment to lead Kenya’s transformation as president.

The President spoke after a church service at the United Pentecostal Church of Kenya in Dagoretti North, Nairobi.

He was accompanied by a host of leaders, including Nairobi Governor Johnson Sakaja.

Several city MP’s George Aladwa(Makadara), Felix 'Jalang'o' Odiwuor(Lang'ata), John Kiarie(Dagoret South), TJ Kajwang(Ruaraka), Beatrice Elachi(Dagoreti North),  Samuel Atandi(Alego Usonga), and MCAs were also present.
