President William Ruto has said he will be more than willing to step down should Kenyans not grant him a second term at the 2027 General Election, he emphasized that the public has sole discretion when it comes to their leader's performance.
He was in the midst of addressing the masses when Ruto mentioned that he had struck a deal with Kenyans to hold office for five consecutive years, at the end of which he would have a chance to be voted in again or be rejected by the people depending on their assessment of his service.
"I struck a deal with Kenyans that I was there to work, for only 5 years and they will look at the way I worked, " Ruto added " If I came good then in the year 2027 they may decide to put me in again but in the event that they decide that actually there is no delivery, I am also happy to go back to my farming business at Sugoi.
