President Uhuru Kenyatta and his Deputy President William Ruto have once again scoffed at the NASA alliance, saying they have nothing new to offer Kenyans.
During their tour of Ukambani on Saturday, the leaders sought to pupularise the Jubilee Party, where they addressed rallies in Kambu, Matiliku, Kisau and Enzai shopping centres.
Mr Kenyatta singled out Nasa’s resolve to revise sections of the Constitution should they win the August 8 polls as espoused in their manifesto, terming it as selfish and insincere.
“Today, because he (Mr Odinga) is looking for leadership and he has aligned his cronies to promote that cause, he has resolved to amend the Constitution to accommodate the positions he has created for his cronies,” he said.
Kenyatta said it was unnecessary to amend the constitution just accommodate individual interests, adding that it will cost the taxpayers a lot of money.
“Revising the Constitution alone costs Sh20 billion,” said Mr Kenyatta.
He added that the money can be invested in other projects that can benefit Kenyans, like creating jobs for the youth.
He launched projects in the region, with one being the tarmacking of Kali-Kikima-Kyambalasi Road, a 56 kilometre road network cutting across Mbooni constituency.
The President used the opportunity to draw parallels between his administration and the Nasa lineup, saying that while he was committed to developing the country evenly, the opposition was sowing discord along tribal lines.
“We beat them in 2013 while they were in the government and while we were weighed down by cases in Europe and they cannot beat us today,” he said.
