Broad-based govt
Speaking during a press briefing on Friday, July 19, 2024, at State House Nairobi, Ruto disclosed that after a wide consultation, he has decided to form a broad-based government that would harness the enormous potential and economic transformation of the country.
“I gave the nation my undertaking to reflect at length on these issues that have been brought into sharp focus by the people of Kenya, consult widely on the way forward and craft a broad-based Government that would harness the enormous potential of our country to turbocharge our economic transformation and inclusive growth,” he said.
He further stated that the ongoing crisis has created an opportunity to craft an inclusive government consisting of a citizen coalition made up of Kenyans from all walks of life for national transformation and progress.
“While the events of the past month have caused tremendous anxiety, concern and uncertainty, the crisis has presented us with a great opportunity, as a nation, to craft a broad-based, and inclusive citizen coalition for national transformation and progress, made up of Kenyans from all walks of life,” Ruto stated.
