On Thursday 30th June DP Ruto committed himself to implementing seven key issues if elected president in August.

In his manifesto launch, Ruto said he will focus on the ‘people’ to turn around the Kenyan economy.

Here are some of his commitments to Kenyans:

Deploy modern agricultural risk management instruments that ensure farming is profitable and income is predictable.

These instruments include crop and livestock insurance schemes, commodity market instruments such as forward contracts, futures contracts and price stabilisation schemes,” he said.


Transform 2 million poor farmers from a food deficit to surplus producers through input finance and intensive agricultural extension support.

This will be done with a target to generate a minimum productivity target of Sh50,000 revenue per acre 


Raise productivity of key value food chains (maize 8- 15bags/acre, dairy 2.5kg-7.5 kg per cow/day, beef carcass weight from 110kg-150kg)


Reduce dependence on basic food imports by 30 percent(domestic oil crops production from 5 percent to 25 percent, rice from 18 percent to 40percent)

Boost tea value chain (blending & branding).

The manifesto is said to be an accumulation of people’s needs and solutions.


“They listened to the needs and aspirations, priorities and solutions as expressed and proposed by a cross-section of Kenyans in the agriculture and business sectors and among various interest groups,” Director of Communications Hussein Mohammed said.


"During these engagements, Kenyans expressed their views, shared their ideas and spoke of their hopes and expectations."


When Ruto unveiled his running mate,  Rigathi Gachagua on May 15, announced that his team had planned 45-day economic discussions in counties across Kenya.

Woman Allegedly Found Cheating, whipped before the Village Elders in Teso South, Bungoma County

Infidelity is a sensitive issue that can cause a lot of pain and hurt in relationships. Sad enough, through a video going rounds the social media, I've watched the recent incident in Teso South, Busia, where a young lady was allegedly found cheating on her husband with a boda boda guy. The village elders decided to punish her by whipping her as a way of cleansing her house, generation, and restoring dignity to her family and husband. While infidelity is a serious issue that should not be condoned, the use of physical punishment in this case is not only archaic but also inhumane. First and foremost, it is important to acknowledge that infidelity is a complex issue that cannot be solved through physical punishment. Punishing someone for cheating does not address the root causes of the behavior and does not promote healing or reconciliation in the relationship. In fact, physical punishment can further damage the relationship and cause more harm than good. It is essential t...

Photo Courtesy A Woman from West Pokot County known as Kephina Cheruto has finally added her voice about how her marriage hit the rock after her husband and relatives made her unbearable. According to Cheruto, she became abusive both verbally and physically, but she hoped and prayed that things would change. “I was forbidden from speaking to neighbours even if they were women. I was to stay indoors or within the compound at all times. If I spoke to someone , they would always urge to flew from the family, but I did not listen; I was in love,” she said. In an exclusive interview that we saw courtesy of TUKO.co.ke’s Yvonne Kawira, Cheruto always yearned for peace and followed the instructions to keep her marriage intact and hoped for the best.
