  "account": "President William Ruto recently cautioned political figures in Kenya against promoting chaos, violence and divisive politics, emphasizing that the nation has no space for leaders who aim to destabilize the country. During a five-day development tour in Nyanza, Ruto stressed that peace, stability and national unity are crucial for the government's economic growth and improved lives of Kenyans. He challenged opposition leaders to abandon outdated politics based on empty rhetoric, tribalism, division and violence. Ruto urged opposition parties to present a clear political agenda ahead of the 2027 General Election, warning that those lacking an agenda would struggle to compete in the polls. He described the 2027 election as a watershed moment for Kenya, calling for a break from tribalism, divisiveness and discrimination, ushering in an era of national unity, inclusivity and shared purpose. In terms of development, Ruto announced Sh23 billion for the construction of eight roads in Kisumu County, Sh44 billion for affordable housing in the region, and the inauguration of the Lake Victoria Water and Sanitation Project, which aims to connect more households to reliable water supplies and sewerage systems. Additionally, he launched the Rabuor-Chiga road project, inspected infrastructure works in Chemelil, and opened the Kisumu West Sub-County Police Headquarters, highlighting the government's commitment to addressing police officers' housing needs. At Kisumu International Airport, Ruto commissioned a new Air Traffic Control Tower to improve aviation safety and air traffic management. The President also announced the allocation of five acres of land to the Jua Kali sector in Kisumu, where a modern workshop will be constructed to support artisans and boost their businesses.",
