Ruto: Nikishindwa naenda nyumbani kulima

President William Ruto has called on leaders in Kiambu to unite and work together for the common good of serving Kenyans.

Speaking on Saturday when he toured Githunguri, Ruto called on leaders to stop inciting Kenyans and leading to divisions and fighting.

Ruto said Kenyans had given each leader their own job and mandate which they have to deliver adding that the Kenyans themselves will make a decision in 2027 on who to vote in again based on each individual's performance record.

Ruto said those who will not have satisfied the pledges made to Kenyans during the last campaign, if voted out, should accept to go home in peace.

"I would like to request leaders in Kiambu, let's stop fighting and inciting people, Kenyans are not foolish, they know who is working and who is not. The people gave us work, the MCA has their work same as the MP, the governor and me, everyone should do their work," Ruto said.

"Kila mtu afanye kazi yake jameni, si mtihani mtatufanyisha 2027, mtu akipita mtihani si anaendelela, mtu akianguka mtihani si anaenda kulima nyumbani, iko haja ya kupiganisha watu? Iko haja ya kuleta fujo? Si nyinyi ndio mtasahihisha mtihani yetu?" Ruto posed.

(Everyone should do their work. When the exam comes in 2027 it will be the Kenyans themselves who will do the marking; those who pass the exam will continue, those who fail will go home to farm).

The President said Kenyans had given him the job to ensure children go to school, roads are constructed and all households are connected to electricity, the work he is continuing to deliver.

He said he too will face the exam like any other leader in 2027 and should he fail, he will go home to farm.

"Si mliniambia nisomeshe watoto wetu, si nimeajiri walimu elfu sabini na sita? Si mlinipea kilimo nipunguze gharama ya mbolea na mbegu? Si mlisema tuunganishe stima, tujenge barabara? Si mtaniuliza maswali 2027? Si nitajibu maswali, nikipita mtihani si mimi naendelea, nikianguka mtihami si mimi naenda kulima, iko shida yeyote? What is the problem, hakuna shida," Ruto said.

He maintained that Kenyans want a united leadership that will work for a common goal, adding that as the head of state, he won't relent in his quest to ensure all Kenyans are united irrespective of region.
