President Uhuru Kenyatta has mocked the five Nasa principals, saying they are talking about change for Kenya, yet they failed to deliver anything tangible for Kenyans, when they served in senior government posts.
During his campaign trail in Lower Eastern region, Uhuru warned Kenyans about false change that the opposition is preaching.
He asked them to be wary of opposition, saying they were known for their penchant for selfish pursuit for power, and a rich history of delivery for themselves at the expense of a majority of Kenyans.
Kenyatta reminded Kenyans that one of the five principals leading the opposition was appointed minister when Deputy President William Ruto was in Form One, while another was made minister at the age 27, and had gone on to serve in that position for more than two decades.
He said one of the other men had served in Government, including as a minister and Prime Minister, and instead of delivering progress for the youth, had done nothing to uplift their lives.
"They are talking about change but what change are they talking about which they could not bring in all the years they were in Government. They have a history of delivering nothing. They only squabble, argue, and are ineffective," Uhur told supporters in Kangundo, Machakos County.
"The biggest thing they are offering to Kenyans is to change the Constitution and this will cost Kenya at least Sh20 billion," he added, Tuesday.
He was accompanied by Ruto.
