Ruto at Four: Kenya in Numbers
Four years of President William Samoei Ruto’s administration can be looked at through the numbers.
1. Kenya’s economy is growing at about 5%, foreign exchange reserves have reached US$15 billion, and Kenya is now among Africa’s six largest economies.
2. The price of subsidised fertiliser has also come down from KSh7,000 to KSh2,500.
3. In agriculture, maize production has increased from 44 million bags to 75 million bags, while sugar production has grown by 70%.
4. In healthcare, 32 million Kenyans are now registered under SHA, with 16,000 healthcare facilities contracted and more than 100,000 Community Health Promoters supporting healthcare delivery across the country.
5. The Affordable Housing Programme has 270,000 homes under construction, with an estimated 650,000 jobs being created.
6. The Hustler Fund has reached 28 million borrowers, with KSh90 billion disbursed and KSh7 billion saved by Kenyans.
7. Across the country, 450 modern markets are under construction, while 123,000 young people have been supported through the NYOTA programme.
8. In education, 100,000 teachers have been recruited and 23,000 classrooms have been built.
9. Kenya is also moving towards a digital economy, with 23,000 government services digitised and 30,000 kilometres of fibre laid.
10. On infrastructure, 6,000 kilometres of roads are under construction, while 1.3 million new electricity connections have been made.
11. And as Kenya prepares to co-host AFCON 2027, 39 stadiums are being upgraded.
These are not just numbers on paper. They represent farmers, students, patients, young people, workers, businesses and families whose lives are being affected by government programmes.
Four years. A lot has happened. And the journey continues.
