Deputy President Kithure Kindiki has claimed that all the promises made by the government will be fulfilled before the next elections to improve the lives of Kenyans.
Speaking on Sunday at AIC Nairagie Enkare, in Narok East Sub-County, where he attended a church service, the Deputy President said the focus now is on developing the country through key projects targeting raising the socio-economic status of all citizens.
“I want to assure you that we are working hard to fulfil all the promises we made to the people of Kenya. Before we come back to ask for your votes again, we will account for every promise we made to the people of Kenya,” said DP Kindiki.
The Deputy President said the government is constructing eight ESP modern markets in Narok County.
“We promised our small-scale traders, including mama mboga, that we would provide decent places to do their business and make a living. That is why we are fully focused on building these markets, which will be completed on time,” DP stated.
Countrywide, the government is funding over 400 markets, which are in various stages of completion.
On top of dignified trading areas, the markets will also have cold rooms to preserve perishable goods and also host ICT hubs for youth to do digital jobs, as well as special places for lactating mothers.
The government is also reviving all the stalled roads in the country, as well as expanding electricity connections through the last-mile program that is being rolled out across the country and modern markets.
He also informed the residents of the government’s unwavering commitment to continue to lower the cost of living through subsidizing farm input, lowering inflation, and the rate of foreign exchange to ease the prices of food and other critical necessities.
The Deputy President, at the same time, scoffed at their political rivals over the one-term presidency notion, brushing it off as unrealistic and inconsequential.
Kindiki wondered why making Ruto a one-term president could excite some leaders when he has already achieved a lot.
According to the Kindiki, President Ruto is among the five Kenyans who have been privileged to occupy the highest office in the land.
He said many leaders have tried in vain to be the president.
He said even if he does not get a second term, he will have transformed lives in the country.
“Don’t threaten us with a one-term presidency. That is cheap,” he said.
