Ruto Maintains Handshake to Blame for High Cost of Living CapitalFMKenya: Kenya
DP Ruto said Thursday in an interview with KTN News that the handshake between President Uhuru Kenyatta and his Azimio la Umoja One Kenya presidential candidate Raila Odinga made it impossible for the Jubilee administration to implement the Big 4 agenda which Ruto argues would have helped cushion Kenyans against high food prices.
"Unfortunately, we lost the opportunity to implement the Big 4 for reasons every Kenyan knows. That is the reason why in 2018 before the handshake the price of Unga was at 90 shillings today it is Sh 230 going to Sh 250 because we dropped the ball," Ruto said. "If you don't support the farmers to produce. It is simple, the scale is supply and demand. When supply goes down demands goes up, prices go up, and that is where we are," he added.
DP Ruto said that in their Kenya Kwanza Manifesto they had identified agriculture as the solution to the cost of living noting that it is the most competitive sector in the country."
