President William Ruto has urged leaders in the broad-based government to put the interests of Kenya ahead of political differences, saying the decisions made by the coalition will have a lasting impact on the country’s future.

Speaking during the broad-based government meeting in Naivasha, Ruto described the gathering as consequential, noting that it brought together the country’s two largest political formations and more than 250 Members of Parliament, nearly 45 senators and governors.

“The future of our nation is dependent on the decision we make in this meeting,” Ruto said.
