“It is the business of the government to ensure that ventures that generate employment and income for the people grow. Apart from making them access credit, we will also pursue policies that would create conducive environment for them to expand,” said Dr Ruto.
The Deputy President spoke on Sunday during two different church services in Lang’ata and Dagoreti South Constituencies.
He was accompanied by Agriculture Cabinet Secretary Mwangi Kiunjuri, MPs Nixon Korir (Lang’ata), Charles Kanyi (Starehe), George Theuri (Embakasi West), Bernard Shinali (Ikolomani) and Florence Jematia (East African Legislative Assembly).
Others were John Kiarie (Dagoreti South) Silvanus Osoro (South Mugirango), Kweya Thuku (Kinangop), Rahab Mukami (Nyeri County), James Gakuya (Embakasi North) and Simon Mbugua (EALA).
