Keep hope alive, Ruto hails Kenyans resilience in New Year message

Deputy President William Ruto has hailed Kenyans for their courage and resilience amid a tough year.

In his New Year goodwill message to Kenyans, the DP acknowledged that 2021 has been a challenging year for many Kenyans who have suffered setbacks but chose to rise above their adversities.

“Times have always been challenging in their own ways, but never as trying, harrowing and exhausting as the past year. I am sure that everyone feels they have given their all, and it has not seemed to be enough” he admitted.

He added “In our different ways, each one of us struggles to overcome difficulties through adaptation, creativity and a sheer dogged refusal to give up. We possess an inner resilience that has seen us through moments when everyone thought only a miracle would rescue us”.

The DP who appeared to be drumming up support for his ‘bottom up’ economic model said Kenyans were creative and talented, capable of uplifting their lives in a friendly work environment.

“Millions of Kenyans would do more and fair better given a more friendly environment to work, use their creativity and talents.  At the bottom, where survival is a daily triumph, there are abundant lessons learnt, dreams that refuse to die, hope that flows abundantly. There lie our best strategies and pathway to the top” he stated on his Twitter handle.

Despite the difficulties, Ruto urged Kenyans to soldier on and keep hope alive declaring that better times lie ahead.

“We have had close shaves and near misses, endured daunting setbacks and been actively undermined by our adversaries.  But here we are, still doing our best, often not knowing how it would turn out until the last minute. We must never lose faith that the promise is alive and that we can claim our portion of the divine abundance experience in our daily lives” he appealed.

We must never stop rising up early and working hard all day, every day until we turn hope into reality and make our dreams come true. Happy 2022 to all Kenyans.
