Our Focus Is Economic Recovery-President Ruto
President William Ruto has said the government is committed to reviving the economy.
The government, he added, will not shy away from making tough decisions that will enable sustainable economic growth.

The President added that the government was also implementing a debt management plan to lessen the country’s loan burden.
“We are focused on investing in areas that will drive our economy forward sustainably. I am confident that we have laid a foundation that will take our economy away from dependence on debt to dependence on revenue that is raised locally.”

Present were First Lady Rachel Ruto, Senate Speaker Amason Kingi, Governors Abdulswamad Nassir (Mombasa), Gideon Mung’aro (Kilifi), Issa Timamy (Lamu), Salim Mvurya (Cabinet Secretary for Mining, Blue Economy and Maritime Affairs) a host of MPs and other leaders.
