President William Ruto has said 2025 was a defining year for Kenya, one that tested the country’s resolve but ultimately demonstrated its capacity for unity, sacrifice, and recovery. He noted that the decisions taken since 2023, though often difficult, were deliberate and aimed at stabilising and transforming the economy. According to the President, 2025 was projected as the year Kenyans would begin to see the dividends of reforms and shared sacrifice. Ruto said the government would remain focused on consolidating the gains made, sustaining economic recovery, and advancing policies aimed at inclusive growth. He reiterated that unity and shared purpose would remain central to achieving the country’s long-term development goals as Kenya builds on the foundations laid during the past year.
