NAIROBI, Dec 17 (NNN-KBC) — President William Ruto has said the government has employed a comprehensive strategy to reduce the cost of living.
The President said the government is supporting farmers to increase food production; a move he noted is reducing the cost of food.
“Last year, at a time like these things were different, the price of Unga was Ksh 240 today it is Ksh 140,” he said.
He said the government is also expanding opportunities for the people to ensure they have decent earnings to fend for themselves.
President Ruto also said government expenditure will be reduced and public resources utilised prudently to give Kenyans value for their money.
Furthermore, he said the government is addressing financial burdens on citizens in areas such as healthcare by implementing Universal Health Coverage.
“When I was looking for this job I had a plan. I am going to work hard until this country is transformed,” he said on Saturday during Thanksgiving mass held at Cardinal Otunga Mosocho High School in Kisii County.
President said no part of the country will be left behind in terms of development on account of political differences.
The Head of State said his administration has allocated more funds to the education sector to level the playing field for Kenyans.
“Education is the greatest equaliser,” he said. — NNN-KBC
