Why William Ruto must find a way to fix Kenyans' problems

It is hard to be President William Ruto at the moment. After promising so much, especially during the campaigns, it turns out the promises were close to utopian. That is now haunting his government. A lot points to an increasingly frustrated population. Those who know bits of economics or Finance can tell that the country is not and has not been in the best of economic pedestal for long. So, President Ruto faces one of the most difficult waves for an economic paradigm shift in the history of Kenya.

He inherited a problematic economy, but it is not easy to fix Kenya, yet he has to. Times of crisis or severe problems define how great leaders emerge. He has to seize the moment. President Kibaki had his share of success and failures as well. But he is mostly remembered for reviving the declining economy that he inherited. At a time when things were looking quite desperate and almost hopeless, he inspired a new direction.
