Moses Wetang’ula has thrown his weight behind President William Ruto’s 2027 re-election bid, urging Kenyans to continue standing behind the Kenya Kwanza government.
Addressing a congregation during a church service in Igembe North, Meru County, on Sunday, July 13, 2025, Wetang’ula praised Ruto’s leadership for the past two years. He said the administration had delivered key milestones that warrant a second term in office.
The National Assembly Speaker reminded Meru residents that they played a crucial role in electing Ruto and should now stand firmly with his government as it continues to implement its development agenda.
“Watu wa Meru, hii serikali ya William Ruto ni serikali yenu. Nyinyi ndio mlichangia kama Wakenya wengine kupigia William Ruto kura, and it is your government. I therefore urge the people of Meru to offer unwavering support for President Ruto’s administration since he deserves a second term based on his development record,” he told the congregation.
“The Kenya Kwanza government, under the stewardship of President William Ruto, has made great milestones since he took over the mantle of leadership two years ago.”
Wetang’ula Highlights Milestones in Education, Jobs, and Health
Wetang’ula further highlighted key achievements in education and job creation as proof that the government is delivering on its promises.
Wetang’ula referred to the employment of 76,000 teachers under the tenure of Ruto as one of the biggest achievements of the government. He added that the new budget has allocated for an additional 24,000 teaching posts, bringing the figure to 100,000, more than any government has hired since independence.
He also addressed unemployment, acknowledging it as a national priority area. He informed Kenyans that the Kenya Kwanza administration is earnestly working on long-term solutions intended to improve livelihoods, especially among the youth.
Rushing to the defense of Ruto amid criticism, Wetang’ula reminded Kenyans of the situation of the economy when the president came into power.
“Our president found the country in a difficult economic state, with stalled roads, an overstretched health system, and a disrupted education sector,” he said.
“Today, strides have been made; CBC, with the teething issues and bottlenecks facing it, has been streamlined, and the future of our education system is now more secure.
“In the health sector, we have witnessed reforms aimed at achieving Universal Health Coverage. Previously, NHIF channeled more resources to private hospitals than public ones, despite public facilities serving nearly 80% of Kenyans.
He noted that SHA has begun addressing deep-seated inequities in the health sector and urged Kenyans to enroll and see the gains firsthand.
“I urge all Kenyans to register and test it for themselves. We already have testimonies of citizens who have benefitted,” he concluded.
