In a statement shared on X, Homabay constituency Member of Parliament (MP) George Peter Kaluma advised President William Ruto to focus on improving and protecting the country during the ongoing crisis.
Kaluma acknowledged that Ruto is the president of Kenya until the general elections in 2027 and urged him to confidently take actions that would benefit the nation and its citizens.
“President @WilliamsRuto: You are the President of Kenya until 2027 when general elections will be held. As President, do not hesitate to do what is good for Kenya,” Kaluma said.
The Orange Democratic Movement (ODM) lawmaker further encouraged the head of state to establish a government that would cater to the needs of all Kenyans and drive the country’s economic transformation.
“Proceed and establish a government of all Kenyans as you had envisioned and create the Nation of Kenya,” Kaluma added.
During a press briefing at State House Nairobi, President Ruto disclosed that after extensive consultations, he has decided to form a broad-based government that would harness the country’s immense potential and facilitate its economic transformation.
Speaking in Bomet County on Sunday, Ruto vowed to protect Kenya’s democratic principles from “anonymous anarchists” who have been responsible for the recent violent demonstrations that have resulted in deaths and injuries.
“Enough is enough! going forward I will protect the nation. We will protect Kenyans, stop the killers, we will stop anarchy and will stop looters. Kenya is a democracy and we want a peaceful nation,” Ruto said.
The president emphasized the importance of the country’s wellbeing over the interests of any particular group, stating, “The country is much more important than any group of people. We must stand together as a nation, protect our nation and make sure that Kenya is a democracy.”
Ruto concluded by affirming that he has given everyone a chance to express their views, but that the current situation cannot continue, as the country’s interests must take precedence.
