Mr Ruto said that for the youth to develop economically, the ought to be given opportunities to grow.
He added that he would create a zero-interest special fund for youth and women in his quest to elevate them.

Speaking during a campaign tour of Teso on Sunday, Mr Ruto expressed his shame that Kenya, an agricultural country, had people dying of hunger 49 years after independence saying farmers need equipping to increase food security.
He further said that his government would work on addressing the wrongs that have burdened the country and bring change through actions and not mere rhetoric.
