Eldoret-based human rights activist Kipkorir Ngetich has issued a bold and passionate statement urging President William Ruto to personally take charge of stalled government projects and hold accountable senior government officials allegedly sabotaging national development through corruption, incompetence, and political mischief.
Speaking to local media, Ngetich expressed deep concern over what he termed as a “growing network of saboteurs within government,” accusing some cabinet secretaries, engineers, and contractors of deliberately derailing flagship projects funded by taxpayers and development partners.
“These projects are not favors — they are part of the president’s manifesto and the people’s expectations. Some of them have already received full funding, and there’s absolutely no justification for the delays we are seeing,” Ngetich said.
He challenged President Ruto to map out and expose those delaying development “by design,” warning that time is running out with only two years left before the next general election.
“As a country, we cannot afford to be held hostage by a few selfish individuals who are sabotaging progress. Kenyans want results, not excuses. Every Cabinet Secretary must deliver. We are calling on the president to stop entertaining lazy and corrupt individuals in his administration,” Ngetich added.
The activist praised President Ruto’s relentless efforts to mobilize resources and secure international partnerships to support national development but warned that without accountability, those efforts risk being in vain.
Ngetich also condemned politicians engaging in corruption or political games aimed at discrediting the government. “There are people using graft and project delays to paint the government in a bad light. Some want the president to fail for their own selfish ambitions. That cannot be allowed to continue,” he stated.
He called on Parliament to strengthen its oversight role and urged the opposition to abandon what he termed “tribal and hateful politics” in favor of national unity and progress. “We need to reason together as a country. The youth are jobless, and Kenyans are struggling to afford basic healthcare and food. We must rally behind development — not division,” he said.
In his closing remarks, Ngetich warned that continued sabotage would erode public trust, which is already fragile. “Let’s not mess with the future of this country. The president has worked hard to bridge budget gaps. Now he must act decisively. No mercy for those undermining progress.”
Kipkorir Ngetich has been a vocal advocate for accountability and equitable development in the Rift Valley and is known for mobilizing grassroots communities around issues of governance and justice.
