  "account": "Nairobi — President William Ruto has criticized his political rivals for seeking power without presenting concrete plans for governing the country. At a roadside rally in Chekorio Trading Centre, Ruto urged political leaders to demonstrate how they would fulfill their promises to Kenyans. Ruto argued that winning an election should be accompanied by a commitment to account for the promises made to the electorate. He stated that his political competitors are hesitant to develop a plan because they lack confidence in delivering it, indicating that they desire power without taking responsibility. Ruto emphasized that Kenyans want a clear plan, and expressed readiness to account for every chapter of his 2022 election manifesto, which included addressing poverty, climate change, drug abuse, and housing access. He pledged to hold every leader in his administration accountable for implementing these commitments.",
