NAIROBI, Kenya Oct 15 – President William Ruto has accused his political competitors of seeking power without presenting clear plans for governing the country, challenging them to demonstrate how they would deliver on their promises to Kenyans.

Addressing a roadside rally in Chekorio Trading Centre, Ruto said political leaders must be judged on the agendas and programmes they present to voters, arguing that winning an election should come with an obligation to account for commitments made to the electorate.

Kenya is marking Raila’s first anniversary since his death with President Ruto expected to lead the nation in the commemoration.
