President William Ruto expressed pleasure at the end of an engagement session sponsored by prominent X personality Osama Otero.
In an impassioned concluding speech immediately after the forum, the president turned to his X account to underline the lessons he learned from the historic two-hour X Spaces session with Kenyans.
President Ruto underlined his pledge to Kenyans that his administration will listen to their thoughts and sympathize with residents' plights in the future.

He admitted that his government had ignored Kenyans and had been reluctant to follow the pledges made during the campaigns, adding that Kenya Kwanza would be more active moving forward.
“Listening to the feedback today on X, I think I need to listen more, I need more empathy and my administration needs more empathy and I have heard you say loudly, more action! This is very rich and wealthy feedback. It was a great moment for Kenyans engaging openly, vastly in with no-bounds,” he said.
The President praised the young for responding to his desire for an engagement, acknowledging that he had lost touch with such chats with Kenyans.
As a result, he pledged to consider such forums in the future to fulfill the government's mission and meet the people's demands.
“I am immensely grateful for the feedback I got on X. I think that I have taken long before I came to engage you on X Space,” Ruto noted.
“My administration has always believed in engaging, so I go around the country engaging people and rarely sit in the office. I look forward to more engagement and working with you in the future.
Most speakers criticized the president for perceived arrogance and opulence among high government officials.
