Rironi-Mau Summit highway: Sh200bn project that could define Ruto’s first term races to 2027 deadline
The project will be completed by June 2027, according to CS Chirchir.
Uganda's military chief, Gen Muhoozi Kainerugaba, has publicly supported Kenya's President William Ruto's bid for a second term in office. Kainerugaba, the son of Ugandan President Yoweri Museveni, made this declaration on social media platform X on October 2, 2026. He referred to National Assembly Speaker Moses Wetang'ula as his "Mutume" in Kenya, indicating Wetang'ula's role as his emissary or representative in the Kenyan context.
Kainerugaba stated that Wetang'ula will support Ruto's re-election, indicating a regional dimension to the Kenyan president's campaign. Wetang'ula, who has been actively mobilizing support for Ruto, has repeatedly urged Kenyan voters to back the president for a second term. He has defended the Kenya Kwanza administration's record and challenged Ruto's opponents to focus on policy over ethnicity.
