President William Ruto has revealed that he will not discuss the cost of living with the opposition Leader Raila Odinga since his government is already tackling the issue.

Speaking on Sunday during an interdenominational national service in Ukunda in Kwale County, the head of state said his government has already put in place necessary interventions to address challenges facing Kenyans as part of his manifesto.

“It is clear; we are effectuating our Manifesto that is heavy on reducing the cost of living,” he explained.

This comes even as Azimio leaders protested that the issue was a key agenda that has been omitted contrary to their agreement during the Mombasa meeting.

Ruto said Kenya was on course to produce surplus food this year due to the Government’s deliberate plan to subsidise production.

Further, he observed that protests marked by the destruction of property and loss of lives will not curtail the price of living warning the Opposition to keep off violent demonstrations.

“We will not negotiate about the safety of our country,” he said.

Additionally, he has called on leaders to shun divisive politics and focus on serving the people.

“We need to work together, our persuasions notwithstanding, to transform Kenya.”

He said the Government was now in charge of the country’s economic affairs using locally-generated resources.
