Today, President William Ruto made a significant announcement about changes in the government that are meant to improve our country’s future. Here’s what you need to know in simple terms:
What Has Been Achieved So Far
- Cheaper Food and Living Costs: The government has helped farmers by making farm supplies cheaper, which has led to more food being produced and lower food prices.
- Stable Economy: Efforts have been made to prevent the country from going into too much debt, keeping fuel prices steady, reducing inflation, and stabilizing the value of our money.
- Better Education: The government has fixed issues with the Competency Based Curriculum (CBC), created new ways to help students from poor families afford higher education, and hired more teachers for schools.
- Help for Vulnerable People: Programs for orphans, the elderly, and people with severe disabilities now ensure they get their financial support on time.
- Hustler Fund: This fund has provided loans to millions of Kenyans, especially those who couldn’t get loans before because of bad credit ratings.
- Affordable Housing: Many new homes are being built, creating jobs for young people and helping to solve housing problems.
- Supporting Farmers and Manufacturers: New markets, industrial parks, and special zones are being built to help farmers sell their products and support local manufacturing.
- Going Digital: More government services are now available online, making it easier for people to access them. Digital hubs are also set up in schools and communities.
- Health Coverage: A plan to provide health coverage for everyone is in progress, with many community health workers already on board.
- Regulating Fundraising: New rules are coming to regulate how public fundraising is done to avoid misuse of funds.
Major Changes in Government
To make the government work better and faster, President Ruto has decided to make big changes:
- He has dismissed all Cabinet Secretaries and the Attorney-General, except for two key officials. This means most of the top government leaders have been replaced.
- The aim is to create a new, more efficient government that can quickly address important issues like reducing debt, creating jobs, cutting down on waste, and fighting corruption.
What’s Next?
- President Ruto will consult with different groups and political leaders to form a new government team.
- While these changes are being made, the government will continue to function smoothly with the help of other officials.
- More updates and details will be shared in the coming days.
