Former Makadara Member of Parliament Benson Mutura now claims President Uhuru Kenyatta's Big 4 agenda is a dead narrative that will never be realized.The manifesto, which included the provision of better healthcare, housing, food security and industrialization, was one of the campaign promises Uhuru used to secure his second term.But speaking on Saturday morning, Mutura said that Uhuru's reconciliation with opposition leader Raila Odinga disrupted the plan and threw it into the litterbin.In an interview on Radio Jambo's Mazungumzo Waziwazi, the ex-parliamentarian said that the March 9 truce reignited politicking which will not give Uhuru any time to perform.
"Big 4 ilikufa maana kila mtu sasa anaongelea siasa (The Big 4 agenda is a dead plan. It is no longer achievable now that people are already busy politicking)," he said.
He also faulted Uhuru for involving himself in the ongoing politics, specifically the heating referendum push which he has twice expressed support.He faulted Uhuru for failing to notice that the people pushing for the referendum and the expansion of government are not after inclusivity but to secure seats for themselves."Hakuna kitu cha maana hapa, ni uongozi unatafutwa. Mabadiliko hayatasaidia mkenya yeyote.(The referendum push has nothing to do with the well being of Kenyans, its all about leadership. Its not about benefiting Kenyans)," he added.The referendum bid is headed by Raila and his brigade.
