President William Ruto has thrown down the gauntlet to his political adversaries, accusing them of having no tangible plan for tackling unemployment and instead resorting to incitement, tribal rhetoric, and street agitation. The President, speaking during an inspection tour of the Nairobi River Regeneration Programme in Dandora, came out swinging, branding his government’s employment record as unmatched—and his critics as bankrupt on ideas.
Amid an intensifying political climate, Ruto’s message was clear: if you can’t show how you’ll create jobs, stop sabotaging the country with chaos. He cited a growing list of initiatives that, according to his administration, are already putting Kenyans to work.
Ruto detailed his flagship employment pillars:
-Climate WorX programme: Already generating 200,000 jobs, with ambitions to double that figure.
-Affordable Housing initiative: Employing over 320,000 people, with the workforce set to expand significantly within three months.
-Labour mobility and digital economy: Combined, these sectors have absorbed nearly 580,000 young Kenyans.
And that’s just the national snapshot. On the local front, the Nairobi River Regeneration Programme alone has already created 20,000 jobs, with another 20,000 youth starting work the following week. This includes construction of 54 km of sewer lines, 10,000 social housing units, cycle lanes, footbridges, electrified parks, aquaculture sites, and modernized markets.
“This is not theory—it’s actual work happening on the ground,” Ruto emphasized, making it clear he’s building, not just talking.
Without naming names, the President dismissed opposition leaders as masters of theatrics who offer no policy depth. “Your plan cannot be to pay youth to burn property and attack businesses. That’s not leadership—it’s destruction,” he declared.
His administration, Ruto insisted, is focused on delivering visible transformation, from modern infrastructure to youth employment. He called on young people to resist being weaponized by politicians offering rage instead of reforms.
“We will not allow chaos to derail our path to growth. Unity, not tribalism. Work, not war. That’s our direction,” he said.
The President’s development radar is locked on Nairobi. From roads to riverfronts, he aims to turn the capital into a modern, globally competitive city.
Some of the capital’s major upgrades include:
-70 km of new roads
-Revamped Savannah Stage 17 Bridge in Embakasi
-Expansion of Kariobangi wastewater treatment plant
-Riverbank tree planting and biodiversity restoration
-Markets and public facilities embedded in housing zones
The Nairobi River project, covering 27.2 km in Phase One (Naivasha Road to Dandora Falls) and expanding to Mathare and Ngong Rivers in Phase Two, is scheduled for completion by January 15, 2027.
Governor Johnson Sakaja echoed the President’s remarks, saying Nairobi residents are choosing progress over tribal politics. Local MPs and county leaders present—across party lines—backed the regeneration agenda, signaling rare bipartisan unity on urban transformation.
Ruto’s message cut through the political fog: Job creation is not achieved through slogans and stones, but through plans, policy, and execution. He urged all Kenyans to register for the Social Health Authority (SHA) to access affordable healthcare as his administration pushes for inclusive development.
With the clock ticking toward 2027, Ruto is not just asking voters to reject tribalism and turmoil—he’s asking them to choose leadership that works, builds, and creates jobs in real time.
