Monday, October 28, 2024 – President William Ruto has urged Kenyans to stop
believing in propaganda, which he says is hurting the country.
Speaking during the Passing out
Parade of the Kenya Forest Service Inspector Cadets and Forester Trainees at
NYS Gilgil, Nakuru County on Monday, Ruto said it is time Kenyans started
believing in the great country God blessed them with.
He noted that over the last two
years, Kenya has undergone a great transformation that has earned the country
great respect.
The President singled out the
KFS, which he said has reduced illegal logging by about 90 per cent in just two
years.
Ruto said the service has also
been able to raise its own revenue for operations to the tune of over Sh4.7
billion.
“All of us as people of Kenya,
it is time that we believe in this great country God has given us. It is time
we stopped the negativity and believing in fake news and propaganda that is
hurting our nation because looking at the KFS in the last two years, the
transformation is phenomenal,” he said.
“Reducing illegal logging and
forest criminal activity by 90 per cent is something we should be proud of. The
fact that KFS can now raise its own resources because of the transformation and
reforms undertaken is something we should celebrate.”
The Head of State noted that
these changes are not only in the Kenya Forestry Services but are also being
implemented in all other services in the country, including the National Youth
Service (NYS), among others.
