The government through Public Service CS Sicily Kariuki has refuted claims by the Opposition that the Jubilee administration is using the National Youth Service (NYS) programme as a campaign tool ahead of the polls.
Speaking earlier in the week in Kitui County, Kariuki maintained that the Jubilee administration has performed exemplary for the last four and half years, urging the locals to reelect President Uhuru Kenyatta on August 8.
NASA leaders have in there recent past questioned the timing of the commissioning of various projects by President Kenyatta, asserting that there was a plot by JP to use it as a reelection tool.
“They say the timing raises eyebrows, especially given that the election is around the corner. Government functions don’t grind to a halt during polls,” she said.
“Anyone who has eyes and ears can attest the Jubilee government has performed impressively and it means well for this nation," she added.
