President Ruto while speaking during the first Urban Forum 2023 in Naivasha, Nakuru County on June 14, 2023 shunned the claims of people who say that he will only rule as president for only one term.
He has come out clear that he is here to make a difference and that he does not care whether he’ll have a second term or not.
