The Kenya Conference of Catholic Bishops, meeting in Karen on November 14, 2025, identified several areas where President Ruto's government has made positive strides.
The bishops noted that progress has been achieved across key sectors, including education, economic stability, and infrastructure development.
One of the most significant efforts acknowledged is the ongoing recruitment of 24,000 teachers by the Teachers Service Commission (TSC). This move addresses chronic teacher shortages and is critical for improving the quality of education across the country.
Economically, the government was credited for overseeing a period of more stable shilling, a crucial factor in managing inflation and enhancing business predictability.
Furthermore, the government was recognized for its continued commitment to investment in infrastructure, with a particular emphasis on the development of new roads. This sustained focus on infrastructure is vital for economic growth and connectivity.
Finally, the bishops highlighted the ongoing construction of Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET) colleges, which are essential for equipping young people with practical skills needed for the job market. This assessment from the Catholic Church offers a snapshot of the government's perceived successes as of late 2025.
