Ruto also vowed to deal with individuals attempting to hinder the nation's economic progress while officiating the listing of Laptrust Reit on the Nairobi Securities Exchange.
President Ruto reaffirmed his commitment to bolstering the nation's economic muscle, a vision he will vigorously pursue.
He stated unequivocally that the government will take strong measures to ensure that no individual holds the economy hostage by instilling "impunity, lawlessness, and disorder."
According to Ruto, no justification exists for anyone to obstruct free enterprise, interfere with operations, or undermine economic activity for selfish reasons. To uphold Kenya's pledges to a free market economy, he continued, such impunity must be dealt with severely, and complete responsibility must be imposed.
