In an exclusive interview on March 31, 2025, President William Ruto shared his ambitious plans for the Mt. Kenya region. Speaking from Sagana State Lodge, he emphasized his administration’s commitment to infrastructure development, economic empowerment, and agricultural reforms, aiming to uplift the livelihoods of residents.

President Ruto announced a significant allocation of KES15 billion for road development in Mt. Kenya, part of the KES 36 billion national budget for infrastructure. Key projects include the Marua-Gatung’ang’a-Munyoro road, which promises to enhance connectivity and stimulate local businesses.

On economic empowerment, Ruto highlighted the success of the Hustler Fund, which has benefited over four million Kenyans. He also introduced transformative changes in the coffee sector, reducing farmers’ payment waiting periods from six months to just five days. With coffee prices rising to KES 110 per kilogram, farmers are set to enjoy improved incomes.

Addressing political concerns, Ruto dismissed claims of discord with his former deputy, Rigathi Gachagua. He revealed that he had intervened multiple times to prevent Gachagua’s impeachment but eventually stepped back due to governance challenges. Gachagua was impeached in October 2024, and Kithure Kindiki now serves as Deputy President.
