While addressing the Mukuru residents, the elated Head of State kept on expressing how monumental the move is, breaking into praise songs, quoting bible verses, and even saying a prayer.
Ruto maintained that the project is a realisation of the much-censured Affordable Housing project, noting it will serve as a silencer to his political detractors.
“I am happier than you because my dream has been achieved, and it is possible to move the desolate and give them a decent living,” The head of state said.
“They told me that it is not possible, that I am a liar, and today I am here. Has it not been possible? Is it true or a lie?”
President Ruto further said that his dream of providing a decent living to Kenyans has just started manifesting, and he will not tire of improving the lives of citizens.
“This is one of the most consequential days of my political career. Today, I can hand over keys to citizens of our nation, people who would otherwise have never had a chance in life. But today they have the keys not just to open doors but to open a home into dignity, and we are making a difference in the lives of Kenyans,” he said.
“This is the first batch. In August or September, we will come to hand over another 5,000 units. We will come back again in the new year and hand over another 5,000, and that will be the trend until we give 13,000 houses to Kenyans,” he added.
