Opposition leader Raila Odinga has claimed that the country is broke and thus the government is unable to implement development projects it has commissioned.
Speaking to delegates drawn from the Masaai community on Tuesday at Orange House, the ODM Party leader challenged President Uhuru Kenyatta to explain to Kenyans on the country's financial status, describing the mega projects the Jubilee administration is launching as "a lie'.
"These projects are a lie. There is no money and we are broke and these projects being launched daily are not even in the country’s development plan," Odinga noted.
Odinga further claimed that the country's financial crisis is what prompted the government to borrow money through the Eurobond, that would later be embezzled by the government without achieving its prime purpose.
“Even the Auditor-General himself has admitted that he has not seen the Eurobond funds. Right now, Kenyans are being lied to and every Kenyan has a debt of Sh85,000 for money that did not get into the country," he added.
