President William Ruto will on Wednesday evening hold a media roundtable interview with local and international media houses.

The interview that will air live across TV and radio stations comes just a few days after he marked his first 100 days in office.

The development was announced by State House Spokesperson Hussein Mohamed on Tuesday.

The President marked his 100 days on December 22, 2022.

A survey released by Infotrak on Ruto's performance in the 100 days said he had scored an overall grade C in fulfilment of pledges on the economy, governance, gender equality and infrastructure.

Opposition leader Raila Odinga said President Ruto's first 100 days have been a road to nowhere.

He said Kenyans are worse off than they were during the campaigns when the Ruto-led United Democratic Alliance issued a list of promises.

"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," he said.

The Head of State has however, asked his opponents not to rush him.

Ruto is also set to host a Cabinet retreat in Sagana from Thursday, for a five days.

The retreat is said to be for the executive arm of government that includes advisers and Principal Secretaries.

The meeting will be chaired by Ruto and the agenda is to adopt the administration's economic transformation plan based on priorities such as food security and job creation.
