President William Ruto thumped his chest on Friday after the broad-based government clinched seven parliamentary seats in the just-concluded by-elections, terming the outcome a clear message from voters on the country’s political direction.

Addressing a crowd during the launch of the Rironi–Nakuru–Mau Summit Highway at Kamandura in Kiambu County, Dr Ruto dismissed his critics, saying Kenyans had spoken decisively through the mini-polls held across several constituencies.
