Ruto was speaking in Kitui, where he proposed building 50 mega dams in Kenya, which will provide water and eventually boost agriculture.
“We do not need rain; we need water for irrigation, but we are fixated on rain. We have enough water in Kenya, but not enough rain,” he said.
The Ministry of Water has already listed all the dams needed to get the water as proposed by Ruto, as they have been thinking of Thwake, which has not worked for 10 years.
“Let us look for the resources to build all 50 mega dams in Kenya. It will help us produce food through irrigation, and we can cultivate food on 2 million acres, which means we won’t need to import sugarcane, rice, or maize,” Ruto added.
Ruto then proposed that the country should have a national infrastructure fund that will ensure the dams are in place and there is no need for rain.
How did Kenyans take up Ruto challenge?
On the challenge posted on Instagram, a woman said I don’t need work; I just need a salary. Another young man said he doesn’t need money; we just need wealth, while another one said we do not need eyes; we just need to see.

Ruto slams Kenyans for using speech for challenge
In another story, President Ruto spoke in defense of his viral road-naming speech and, while at it, called it a vital project.
The head of state also insisted that the 750 km Isiolo-Mandera road was going to transform Northern Kenya.
Kenyans mocked the speech and compared it to Rigathi Gachagua’s earlier remarks, and it all made netizens react again.
