Strategic communications advisor Barrack Muluka has said it is inappropriate to rate President William Ruto's term.

Speaking on Wednesday at Citizen TV, he said he was surprised that people started rating the President a day after he was sworn in.

"The term is just getting off the ground, I was surprised that as soon as he was sworn in, people started rating him based on his pledges," Muluka said.

He compared the situation with an examination paper with 100 marks, where a student has just written their name on it and is yet to tackle the questions.

"After one writes their names on the paper, it is too early for the examiner to start rating the student  with only the name on the paper," Muluka added

The communications advisor further explained that the Kenya Kwanza government's 51 Principal Secretaries are barely a month old, meaning they are still settling into office

Azimio la Umoja coalition leader Raila Odinga has censured President William Ruto over what he terms as failing to honour the promises he made to Kenyans during the campaign period.

On December 22 Azimio chief Raila Odinga said Ruto's first 100 days in leadership had been full of unattained promises.

Raila accused Ruto's government of "pulling more Kenyans out of the frying pan and threw them into the flames" and the rays of hope for change are slowly dying down.

"These have been 100 days on the road to nowhere. Kenyans are worse off than they were during the campaigns when UDA promises flowed," he said

"Where Kenyans expected and deserved a massive stimulus package to bail them out of the devastating economic circumstances, they got hit with the cancellation of the subsidies that had cushioned millions from the pain."
