President Uhuru Kenyatta has said he is confident of winning the upcoming polls and the choice has been made easier by an opposition clueless about what is good for Kenya.
The Jubilee Party leader said he won the last elections when the odds were stacked against him; and he is confident it will be a smoother ride for him this year because of Jubilee’s performance and track record
The President made the statement after he presented Sh358 million for compensating IDPs in Kisii on Tuesday, and pledged another Sh470 million for those who were displaced in Nyamira by the 2007/2008 post election violence.
The President, who spoke as he went on a campaign blitz in Kisii County, said he will easily trounce the opposition candidate.
“The opposition has no idea what Kenyans want. If they are not inciting Kenyans, they are peddling insults,” said President Kenyatta said.
He said the opposition is bent on creating animosity and division between Kenyans and cannot read the mood of the country’s desire for peace.
The President said Kenya is still recovering from the damages caused to the country when similar agitations by the same characters in the current opposition led to full blown violence in 2007/2008.
He urged the people of Kisii to rally behind the Jubilee Candidates in the county since they were part of the winning team.
The Head of State said majority of Kenyans support Jubilee because they share the party’s vision of moving the country forward and not backwards.
The President said this as he announced that the government will partner with the private sector to provide paid internship for graduates from universities and technical colleges.
The internships are designed to enhance the job market readiness of the young graduates.
President Kenyatta said he is confident of trouncing the opposition largely because of his achievements in the last four and half years.
“We have several reasons as to why we want you to support us on August 8th, one of them is to enable us continue with what we have been doing to improve the lives of all Kenyans,” said the President.
