President William Ruto has implemented challenging economic decisions since taking office, drawing both support and criticism from his followers and detractors. His agenda has included tax reforms and stringent austerity measures, which have placed considerable strain on workers.

Nevertheless, it's crucial to recognize that President Ruto's policies are beginning to yield results. For instance, when he suspended subsidies on Unga, opposition leaders protested, advocating for their reinstatement.

The president faced criticism for introducing fertilizer, with some suggesting it was an inadequate replacement for Unga. However, a year later, the cost of Unga and other food items has notably decreased.

Similarly, when President William Ruto removed fuel subsidies, many Kenyans expressed frustration and opposition figures and certain media outlets accused him of disregarding the people's hardships. Nonetheless, the president remained steadfast in pursuing his agenda.

The Kenyan shilling is trading at 130 against the dollar which is a positive thing. The cost of Unga has gone down as well as that of petrol, diesel and Kerosene. Additionally, the Kenyan debt has reduced by 1 trillion. .
