US Gov’t Congratulates President-Elect William Ruto
The United States government has congratulated President-elect William Ruto after the Supreme Court validated his election on Monday.
US Secretary of State Anthony Blinken in a statement said the US looks forward to enhancing ties with Kenya under Ruto's administration.
"The United States congratulates William Ruto on his election as president of Kenya, as confirmed by the Supreme Court on September 5. We also congratulate the people of Kenya on the conclusion of a peaceful electoral process," reads the statement.
"The United States and Kenya share a strong and longstanding partnership based on a commitment to democracy, security, and economic prosperity. We look forward to enhancing this partnership with President Ruto and his new government."
Blinken further applauded Azimio La Umoja-One Kenya coalition presidential candidate Raila Odinga for accepting the apex court’s verdict.
"We commend Raila Odinga and other candidates for abiding by the Supreme Court ruling. Transparent electoral processes and the peaceful adjudication of disputes are testaments to the strength of democratic institutions," he added.

Only in Kenya impunity is acceptable as long as its properly covered out 75% you can win general elections and many corruptions deals you name it. The SCoK has given a green light to other institutions in country that as long it will not cause demos and chaos is fine.

A good example is when the High Court ordered Rigathi Gachagua to surrender his 200M which was proved to be acquired throw unknown means. Thus SCoK choose to sidelined this in the factor of a public leader criteria. The SCoK as the highest institution in the land has once again are in bed with the executives. SCoK instead blind-folded kenyans with peace is better than the rule of the law

We have come along way in Kenyan politics. I will admit I was wrong thinking fights were going to break out after the supreme court's ruling.
I really applaud our brothers and sisters, mothers and fathers, who have come to believe in our judicial system.
So, moving forward, I believe that Raila has seen Canaan from where we were during Mois rule.
Ruto has to hit the road running or with how Kenyans did the election year, nothing will be guaranteed next election.
But also Kenyans needs to start recalling any voted leader if they don't perform.
That should take us to the next level.
Look at what happened in Britain. Boris Johnson is out,for some stupid s##t. But that's how democracy works.
Hopefully Ruto will restore the rule of law. Hopefully Ruto will curb corruption. Hopefully Ruto will not be full.of himself after winning. Hopefully Ruto will continue to eradicate this big beast called TRIBAL ETHNICITY.

It's time for Kenyans to stop hating and start the business of supporting the new government. President Ruto cannot do it alone. Every Kenyan must do his/ her part to create the Kenya we want for us and posterity.
We have managed to maintain peace during and after elections. With a peaceful environment, development will thrive.
Let us all be part of a new Kenya!!
May God bless Kenya and guide its leaders!!
