President Kenyatta has described the National Super Alliance (Nasa) leaders, led by former Prime Minister Raila Odinga, as power hungry individuals who had no idea on how the lives of Kenyans can be transformed.
Addressing several rallies during the start of his three-day tour of Nyandarua, Laikipia and Nakuru Counties, President Kenyatta told Kenyans to ignore the Opposition saying it has nothing to offer the country.
The Head of State told off the Opposition for criticizing Government’s development projects without giving alternative solutions to problems facing the country.
“The Opposition is criticizing every step we take aimed at improving the lives of Kenyans while they have nothing to show in terms of development and yet they have served this country in senior positions in the previous governments,” said President Kenyatta.
“Everyone in Kenya knows that Jubilee has initiated a lot of development projects that have positive impact on the lives of the people. Those in the Opposition are just thriving on propaganda and negative ethnicity to survive in politics,” added President Kenyatta.
The President asked Kenyans to differentiate between those propagating politics based on hatred and negative ethnicity and those whose focus was on development and unity of the country.
“The August election will be about those propagating propaganda and hatred and those who are committed to development and unity of Kenyans, said President Kenyatta.
He said days when leaders thrived on politics of tribalism and negative ethnicity were long gone.
President Kenyatta enumerated the Government’s development projects including connection of electricity to Kenyans, improvement of infrastructure, education, and roads as well as the construction of the railway line.
He said the Government has set aside Sh 5 billion for the expansion of infrastructure in secondary schools to accommodate more students, saying his administration plans to make secondary education free beginning next year.
