President Ruto’s Antics- Where Are We Heading?

President William Ruto isn’t feeling the heat from netizens who are sharing their different sentiments on whether his moves are worth-it. A significant number of people have complained that the cost of living has gone higher in the few months he has been in office.

Recently, he lifted the ban on GMO’s (Genetically Modified Organisms, citing there is no conclusive evidence suggesting that the modified crops are harmful to human health.

In his recent interview, he claimed that GMO’s are a way of increasing food supply and that he would never allow anything that harms Kenyans;

“I am a scientist, and scientists world over are in agreement that GMOs are not harmful to human beings. There is no evidence suggesting GMOs are harmful to human health. There is no woman who has grown beards because of consuming GMOs. I haven’t grown breasts despite taking GMOs regularly,” said Ruto, adding: “As the Head of State, I won’t allow anything that endangers the lives of Kenyans.”

Of course his sentiments have been denigrated heavily by Kenyans On Twitter; not forgetting that the cost of so many products has gone significantly higher; like electricity. Similarly, the return of transaction costs in bank-to-mobile money transfers and, more critically, higher school fees, will squeeze Kenyans harder.

Netizens are already planning a Nation-Wide strike to complain of the high cost of living under Ruto’s Government. Do you think we will have brighter days or dull days under the current Government?
