Nairobi - Former Nandi Hills MP Alfred Keter has scoffed at President William Ruto's statement about transforming the country in 10 years.

What William Ruto is planning for the next 10 years

During the Kenya Diaspora Investment Conference (KDIC), Ruto said Kenya will undergo a transformation within the next decade and will be unrecognisable.

“I am very confident about Kenya and its future. Kenya is going to change; take it from me: 10 years from today, people will come to Kenya, and they will not recognise it. We would have transformed this country in a very fundamental way,” Ruto said on Wednesday, December 13.

The president said the decision to transform the country needed to be intentional and deliberate by leaders, something that was not easy.

“It is going to take difficult and smart decisions; I promise you, we are very well underway in making sure that we change our country,” he added.

However, Keter sarcastically agreed with Ruto's remarks that the country would not be the same in the next ten years.

Keter alleged that the president was mismanaging the country too fast for it to be the same in 10 years.

According to Keter, Kenya might easily become a failed state in less than ten years.

"You are 100 % right, we cannot even recognise it now. You are finishing it so fast; maybe we can get to a fail state in less than ten years!!" Keter wrote on X.

Alfred Keter: Why Ruto's government is the worst

Keter, who is known to be a vocal critic of Ruto, recently accused the Kenya Kwanza government of failing to deal with the country's economic challenges.

Keter, who is never afraid of speaking his mind, said tribalism had denied the country the chance to elect competent leaders.

According to Keter, Ruto's administration had made life more difficult by introducing oppressive taxes and policies.

"The problem in this country is tribalism; you want to have your own, and they don't fix issues. Take it to the bank; come January, most students will not go to school because school fees have been hiked three times. Very few people will celebrate this Christmas," Keter said.
