Speaking during a church service in Soweto, Sakaja reminded Kenyans that the challenges the country faces have been building over many decades and cannot be fixed in just two years.
He pointed out that Kenyans must be patient, as significant change takes time.
Sakaja highlighted the example of Mau Mau Road, which has been in a poor state for many years.
He explained that despite the leadership of several past presidents, the road remained in disrepair.
"Mau Mau stopped fighting in 1963, and we had four presidents, but the road still wasn't fixed," Sakaja said.
He added that it's unfair to expect President Ruto to resolve such a 60-year-old problem in only two years.
According to Sakaja, these issues have deep roots and require long-term solutions.
The Governor urged the public to give Ruto more time, suggesting that improvements are already visible.
He reminded the audience that projects like Thika Road and the Nairobi Expressway took several years to complete under previous administrations.
"You need to give time. In the fifth year, Thika Road was built. In the ninth year, the Expressway was completed," Sakaja said, pointing out that big projects take time to materialize.
President Ruto, who was also present at the service, expressed his confidence that his government will bring about significant changes.
He spoke about his commitment to improving key sectors, such as food security, universal healthcare, and affordable housing.
Ruto assured the public that, with God's grace, Kenya will undergo a transformation, and he is determined to fulfill his promises despite some of the challenges.
Sakaja also took the opportunity to suggest an ambitious project for the local community.
He recommended that President Ruto consider building a sports stadium on the 32-acre Jacaranda grounds.
He noted that the construction of such a facility would be relatively affordable and would benefit the residents by boosting local socio-economic activities.
