Speaking on Sunday during a church service at the Africa Inland Pentecostal Church Assembly (AIPCA) in Gatundu North, Kiambu County, the President said his administration is driven by service delivery rather than political survival.
Ruto told congregants that he is no longer preoccupied with campaigning, noting that Kenyans already gave him a mandate in the 2022 election.
“I am not doing this work to look for votes,” he said. “My mission is to change Kenya and put the country on a different development path.”
The President urged citizens to shift their attention away from political noise and instead judge leaders by the work they deliver.
He added that elections will come at the right time and that leadership should be guided by responsibility and accountability, not constant politicking.
Ruto further stated that Kenyans have the power to assess leaders based on results, insisting that empty rhetoric, insults, and obstruction of government programmes should not be tolerated.
“Every leader must be measured by their work,” he said. “Those who only make noise without delivering should give way to people who are ready to serve.”
The President’s remarks come as the Cabinet prepares to approve the proposed National Infrastructure Fund (NIF), a major government initiative aimed at mobilising resources for development without increasing public debt.
Ruto explained that the fund is expected to raise up to KSh5 trillion to support infrastructure projects, industrial growth, and other productive sectors of the economy.
He said the plan will rely heavily on private sector participation, easing pressure on government borrowing.
He dismissed claims that the fund is linked to early campaigning, saying it is part of a long-term development strategy meant to benefit future generations.
“This is about building the country, not about 2027,” he said.
The President also highlighted his administration’s ambitious road construction programme, revealing that the government plans to build 28,000 kilometres of roads by 2032.
This will add to the 10,000 kilometres constructed during former President Uhuru Kenyatta’s tenure.
In Kiambu County alone, Ruto said the government has set aside KSh4.1 billion for road upgrades, while an additional KSh22 billion will be used to dual the Muthaiga–Kiambu–Ndumberi road.
He announced that he will return to Kiambu in February 2026 to officially launch the dual carriageway project, which he said will boost economic activity, improve transport, and create jobs for local residents.
Ruto concluded by calling on leaders across the country to support development efforts instead of engaging in divisive politics.
He urged Kenyans to remain patient and allow government programmes to take shape, stressing that progress requires unity and cooperation.
