It has been a roller-coaster ride for President William Ruto in his first two years in office as a number of projects his administration has been pursuing in counties struggle to take shape to deliver on his campaign promises.

While a few are on track, a majority of the projects are yet to start, while others have stalled. So bad is the situation in some regions that some projects have not proceeded beyond the launching plaque.

Interviews with residents across the regions established that a majority are unhappy over lack of progress in the implementation of key projects that have been launched in high profile events.
