Amani National Congress (ANC) leader Musalia Mudavadi has urged Kenyans to vote wisely during the next general elections to restore the country’s lost glory.
According to Mudavadi, the destiny of the nation lies in the hands of the electorate.
He also noted that Kenya has suffered great losses because of increased corruption.
"The Auditor General says three-quarters of our budget is lost to corruption. I call upon Kenyans to resolve that. 2017 is the year of change. We must forge unity of purpose to reclaim our country. Kenya must return to the path of accountability, truth and justice," he said, as quoted by the Star.
He further claimed that the government has been initiating valueless projects in different parts of the country with the aim of looting public resources.
"Valueless grandiose projects have been shoved into Kenyan's faces with little immediate economic value, yet we are saddled with a Sh3.6 trillion public debt,” he added.
Mudavadi pointed out that most Kenyans have nothing to smile about when they reflect on the year 2016 because of the increased cost of living.
"I know you did not have the best of 2016," he added.
"The cost of transport, food and other household goods has skyrocketed beyond your capacity to afford. Unfortunately salaries have stagnated for those in employment. The economy is only performing miracles for a few."
