Ruto Delivers Third State of the Nation Address Amid Economic Gains and Public Challenges.

 Ruto's speech highlights macroeconomic wins, including a stronger shilling at 129-130 to the dollar, steady 4.6% inflation, and 782,300 new jobs added in 2024. Advances in education feature over 76,000 teachers hired since 2022, while the NYOTA program offers youth training and grants nationwide. Yet critics point to delays in affordable housing with just 1,795 units done this year, plus ongoing issues like healthcare debts and insecurity, as Kenyans on X demand real plans ahead of 2027 elections.
