Notably, 12 per cent of Ruto’s supporters pointed out the burden of debt repayment, faulting the Kenya Kwanza government for continuing to put blame on the previous administration. However, only four per cent of Azimio supporters cited debt repayment as a challenge.
On the positive side, Ruto’s government received highest marks for its policies and actions in protecting the environment.
The survey read,”Among the sixteen policy areas presented to respondents, the Kenya Kwanza government received the highest marks for its policies and actions related to the protection of forests, support for agriculture (with the provision of subsidized fertilizer most certainly a factor here), and environmental protection through combatting pollution and contamination. Here, the President’s active support of tree-planting and forest conservation was probably recalled.”
