Ruto noted that having inherited the economy in very bad shape, the last eight months have seen him work round the clock with his efforts bearing fruits. The president who was speaking during a thanksgiving service in Taita Taveta on Sunday, July 23 declared that his government is committed to cutting on borrowing. "I have held many meetings with World Bank, IMF and others whom we have borrowed money from but I want to confirm to the people of Kenya that we have stabilized the economy and now we cannot be threatened by debts again. What I cannot allow is to have our country keep on borrowing left right centre," he said. We are looking for that tax so that we run our country on our own resources.
