In his recent State of the Nation Address, President Williammmm Ruto stated that the Kenya wouldn’t default on its debt, adding that were he not the President, Kenya could have plunged into economic turmoil.
The misguided notion that the President has to make tough decisions to fix the economy needs to be dispelled. The truth is that he doesn’t need to. Rather, he needs to make Solomonic and smart decisions, which unfortunately he is not making. This makes him partly to blame for our economic crisis.
