Deputy President William Ruto has said he is committed to fighting poverty in the country.
He said through the bottom-up economic model, millions of Kenyans at the base of the wealth pyramid will have their lives uplifted.
“By embracing the win-win philosophy, we stand to accommodate everyone and ensure they are empowered economically,” he said.
Dr Ruto spoke today at his Karen Residence during a consultative meeting with more than 200 Members of County Assembly from Mt Kenya Region.
MPs present were Rigathi Gachagua (Mathira), Moses Kuria (Gatundu South), Alice Wahome (Kandara), Kimani Ichungwa (Kikuyu), Irungu Kang’ata (Murang’a), Muthoni wa Muchomba (Kiambu) and Faith Gitau (Nyandarua)
Others were Jayne Kihara (Naivasha), George Kariuki (Ndia), Wangui Ngirici (Kirinyaga), George Theuri (Embakasi West), Isaac Mwaura (nominated) and former Starehe MP Margaret Wanjiru.
The Deputy President said leaders have a duty to work together to transform Kenya.
