Interior Cabinet Secretary Kipchumba Murkomen has urged Kenyans to reflect on the country’s achievements over the past three years as the nation heads into the end-of-year festive season.

Speaking to residents of Eldoret on Wednesday, Murkomen said the period was not only a time for celebration but also an opportunity to acknowledge the strides the Kenya Kwanza administration has made since taking office.

“The end-of-year festivities are not only a time for merry-making but also an opportunity to reflect on our successes and achievements as individuals and as a nation,” Murkomen said.

The CS highlighted what he termed as the key economic gains, noting that Kenya has enjoyed greater food security, lower inflation, reduced fuel prices, and a more stable currency under President William Ruto.

He also pointed to improvements in national security and the country’s improved credit rating, which he described as evidence of sound fiscal and economic management.

Murkomen further emphasised the government’s commitment to infrastructure development, noting that major projects across housing, roads, water, and the hospitality sector were already underway.

“Reforms in health and education are beginning to bear fruit, laying a strong foundation for sustainable development,” he said, adding that these initiatives were intended to fast-track Kenya’s transformation into a first-world economy.

Murkomen was joined in the rally by the Deputy Inspector General of Police Gilbert Masengeli among other senior government officials.

He also took the opportunity to sensitise the public on security matters and the dangers of drug and substance abuse, which he said continued to pose a threat to the country’s youth.

The CS’s remarks come amid a season of national reflection, with Kenyans looking back on the government’s policies and interventions in key sectors, including the economy, infrastructure, education, and health.

Analysts say the emphasis on infrastructure and sectoral reforms is intended to boost Kenya’s competitiveness and lay the groundwork for long-term growth.

The Kenya Kwanza administration, which took office three years ago, has made economic recovery and development a central pillar of its agenda.
