President Ruto's administration has faced its fair share of scrutiny, but it's important to acknowledge the positive steps taken, as highlighted by the Kenya Conference of Catholic Bishops during their November 14, 2025, gathering in Karen.
The bishops praised the government's efforts in several key areas, demonstrating a commitment to progress and development.
One of the most notable achievements is the Teachers Service Commission's (TSC) recruitment drive, which has brought on board 24,000 new teachers. This initiative addresses a long-standing issue of teacher shortages, a critical factor in enhancing the quality of education across the nation.
Economically, the government's management of the shilling's stability is commendable. This stability is crucial in controlling inflation and providing a more predictable environment for businesses, fostering a healthier economy.
The government's dedication to infrastructure development, particularly road construction, is another area of recognition. This sustained focus on infrastructure is essential for economic growth and improved connectivity, ensuring that communities are better connected and businesses can thrive.
Lastly, the ongoing construction of Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET) colleges is a significant step towards equipping young Kenyans with practical skills. This investment in education is vital for preparing the next generation for the job market and addressing the skills gap.
This assessment from the Catholic Church provides a snapshot of the government's perceived successes as of late 2025, offering a balanced perspective on President Ruto's administration.
