President William Ruto has hit out at his political opponents, accusing them of fuelling divisive politics by exploiting poverty and tribalism as the country heads towards the 2027 General Election.
Speaking at State House during a meeting with artisans on Thursday, July 23, Ruto claimed his rivals have built their campaigns around discrediting his administration's development agenda, particularly the Affordable Housing Programme, which he said is intended to provide decent housing and improve the living standards of low-income Kenyans.
The President argued that his administration has focused on narrowing the gap between the rich and the poor, a move he said has unsettled his political competitors.
