On Thursday, President William Ruto hosted over 5,000 leaders from Kenya's minority, indigenous, and marginalized communities in Nairobi to mark International Minorities Rights Day. He launched a new national policy to tackle historical injustices, land rights, and access to education, healthcare, and jobs, fulfilling constitutional mandates. Key steps include a KSh 500 million scholarship program for students, KSh 200 million yearly for school upgrades, health coverage for 200,000 people, and plans for a National Council. Ruto emphasized their central role in Kenya's identity, addressing high poverty in areas like Turkana and Marsabit.
