  "account": "Kapseret Member of Parliament Oscar Sudi has proclaimed that President William Ruto has accomplished more in his first three years in office than any of the other presidents he compared him to, and he has rejected calls for the Head of State to serve just one term. The prominent Ruto supporter made these assertions in Machakos on Sunday, September 20, 2026, while speaking to residents and leaders. Sudi also firmly stated that Ruto would not be limited to a single five-year term. He has previously made his public backing for Ruto's bid for a second term known. \"Appreciate your point. But why have I been saying there is no president who has served a single term?\" Sudi asked. He repeated this message, asking the audience if they had heard his stance. \"What have I been saying? For how long has no one served a single term. Listen to me, Wakamba!\" he added. Sudi then proceeded to compare Ruto's performance with that of three former presidents, asking the audience to determine who among them delivered the most work over the past five years. \"Who among these former leaders has done work for Kenya in the last five years? Who is that? Is it not Ruto?\" he asked. He then suggested that Ruto's second-ranked in terms of work. Former President Mwai Kibaki, Daniel Arap Moi, and Uhuru Kenyatta were ranked third, fourth, and fifth, respectively, in his assessment. \"Who is number two in terms of work? Who? Who is Mwai Kibaki? Who is number three? Who? Not Kibaki!\" Sudi proclaimed. \"Who is number four? Who? Not Moi!\" he continued. \"Who is number five? Who? Not Uhuru Kenyatta!\" he concluded. Sudi's remarks effectively positioned Ruto's first three years of service as surpassing the achievements of the three former presidents he named. However, it is important to note that this assessment is Sudi's personal opinion, as there is no specific metric, independent measurement, or report cited in his remarks to establish that Ruto has \"outworked\" the four presidents he compared him to.",
