Nyandarua Senator John Methu has called on President William Ruto to publicly release a comprehensive scorecard detailing the fulfillment of his 2022 election campaign promises.

Speaking on Thursday at the DCP headquarters in Nairobi, Methu questioned the tangible benefits ordinary Kenyans have experienced under the Kenya Kwanza administration since it took office four years ago.

“Of all the promises William Ruto made to Kenyans in 2022, which one, just one, has been delivered after four years? Publish the scorecard,” Methu challenged.

His remarks come amid ongoing discussions on the government’s performance as the country approaches the 2027 General Election.

Government Highlights Progress

In response, the administration has previously issued performance reports highlighting achievements under the Bottom-Up Economic Transformation Agenda (BETA). These include advances in affordable housing, job creation abroad, road infrastructure, social protection, and the registration of Small and Medium Enterprises.

Deputy President Kithure Kindiki recently cited improvements in Kenya’s macroeconomic indicators, such as increased foreign exchange reserves, reduced inflation, and lower Central Bank lending rates. He also pointed to significant growth in agriculture, education, healthcare, infrastructure, and ICT connectivity.

  • Foreign exchange reserves rose to $15.1 billion, the highest ever recorded.
  • Inflation dropped from 9.6% to below 6%.
  • Maize production increased from 44 million to 75 million bags.
  • Government education funding grew from Sh500 billion to Sh784 billion, with 100,000 teachers employed and 23,000 classrooms built.
  • Public medical insurance coverage expanded from 8 million to 32.2 million Kenyans.
  • Road projects resumed after clearing Sh177 billion in pending bills.
  • Electricity connections increased to 10.3 million households.
  • Job creation initiatives supported hundreds of thousands through housing and digital employment programs.

Methu Emphasizes Accountability

Despite these government claims, Senator Methu emphasized that the administration should be evaluated based on whether these achievements have translated into real improvements for the average Kenyan.

He also defended former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua’s critical remarks on government performance, urging Kenyans to assess the truthfulness of such statements rather than dismissing them based on the speaker’s political role.

As political parties prepare for the 2027 elections, the performance of President Ruto’s government is expected to be a central theme in the national discourse.
