Following days of public criticism over failure by his allies to explain the bottom-up economic model, Deputy President William Ruto has weighed in on the matter. Yesterday, the DP defended the model, saying it was aimed at creating jobs and that it will have more benefits than the trickle-down economic which breeds cartels. He said the bottom-up model is focused on the jobless, struggling ‘hustler’ enterprises and those who can’t put food on the table. It is poised to employ the bottom-up economic model. The bottom-up economy will work and must work, this I can assure Kenyans and I will be accountable to them,” he said on May 4.
