So far, it is evident that President William Ruto's heart is more in agriculture than other sectors. That said, it was expected that he would talk about the country's premier agricultural institution - Egerton University - during his first Mashujaa Day speech. Dr Ruto's approximately 6,849-words address detailed his government's plan to set Kenya on its elusive prosperity path.
However, he only dedicated four sentences (121 words) to education matters. The president en passant talked about launching "the Presidential Working Party on Education Reforms to review all aspects of education in Kenya."
He said, "Its findings and recommendations shall inform subsequent necessary intervention to ensure that Kenya delivers the calibre of education, skills and training needed to successfully pursue sustainable development."
