NAIROBI, Kenya Apr 18 \u2013 President William Ruto has sharply criticized his political opponents, dismissing them as lacking vision and engaging in insults rather than offering solutions for Kenyans.<\/p>\n
Speaking during his tour of Mandera County, he questioned whether such leaders have any clear agenda, development plan, or understanding of the needs of northern Kenya.<\/p>\n
Despite the criticism, Ruto said his repeated visits to the region reflect a deliberate effort to address historical marginalization and ensure equitable development across the country.<\/p>\n
\u201cDo not worry about those people who make noise and hurl insults. I don\u2019t have time for such people. When I see them speaking, I see them like people who are unwell and need to be taken to hospital. Too many insults, too much arrogance\u2014I think some of them are not okay. I believe they have a problem. When you see someone full of anger, noise, abuse, and arrogance, to me that person needs help\u2014take them to hospital, they are not well,\u201d the President said.<\/p>\n
He added: \u201cNow, I want to ask you, the people of Mandera: you have heard these people speaking\u2014do they have policies? Do they have a plan, an agenda, a vision? Do they even know where Border Point One is? Do they know where Rhamu is? Do they know where Wajir is? Are these people even serious about leading Kenya?\u201d<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
