Amani National Congress party leader Musalia Mudavadi has yet again taken a swipe at President Uhuru Kenyatta's leadership, questioning his achievements since 2013.
Mr Mudavadi, in an interview with Sunday Standard, said Uhuru's only legacy will be huge sums of both external and domestic debts when he leaves office.
The former Vice President insisted that the borrowed money has not been utilised well, adding that corruption has been epic under President Uhuru Kenyatta.
"With the kind of debt mess we are in, the next administration will have a difficult task operating, the legacy for Uhuru is the heavy debt he has committed the country to,” he said.
Mudavadi asserted that for the country to get out of the “debt hole” all the loopholes that enable pilferage of public funds must be sealed.
“Corruption is hurting this country, in every project implemented we see overpricing in terms of millions and billions meant to feed the thieving government officials,” he said.
Mudavadi singled out the Standard Gauge Railway (SGR) construction from Mombasa to Nairobi and now to Naivasha as one of the inflated projects that does not have justification.
“Why are our neighbours building more superior electric railway lines at a cheaper cost?” he wondered.
He said he is preparing to give a second stab at the presidency and insists that he has the experience and the charisma to lead the country after shelving his his bids twice in 2007 and 2017 for Raila.
“I have begun making networks across the country, when the right time comes I will hit the road running,” said Mudavadi
Recently, President Uhuru Kenyatta vowed to ensure corrupt people are jailed, adding that he no longer picks calls from some of his friends who have been implicated in the scandals.
