Ruto vows to end Al-Shabaab threat during Coast tour

President William Ruto has promised to deal with Al-Shabaab once and for all in the coastal county of Lamu in a bid to permanently restore normalcy in the area. The President, who is on the second day of his coastal region tour, also defended his administration’s development record, insisting the country is on the right track. He launched several infrastructure and electrification projects in Lamu, Kilifi and Tana River counties, while using the opportunity to hit out at opposition leaders, accusing them of promoting divisive politics ahead of the 2027 General Election.
