President Uhuru Kenyatta has explained the reason why he is seeking a second term
President Kenyatta said the reason he is seeking a second term, is so that Jubilee can entrench the transformational development trend the country has embarked on over the last four-and-a-half years.
He urged Kenyans to vote for Jubilee to prevent the opposition from derailing the foundation for economic growth and shared prosperity that his Administration has laid in the last four-and-a-half years.
“We have expanded electricity connections more than ten times what was there previously. We have offered free maternity services to all mothers delivering in public hospitals and next year we will expand NHIF services to provide health insurance cover for mother and child for one year to ensure robust health,” said President Kenyatta.
He called on the residents to come out in large numbers on August 8 and vote for him and his team.
“We are kindly requesting for your votes. On August 8, please come out and vote peaceful. I don’t want people to fight because of elections,” said the President.
The President said his Government will also offer free day secondary school education from form one to form four to ensure quality education for all Kenyan children.
He thanked the African Development Bank (AfDB) and other donors for financing the Isiolo-Moyale road project.
Deputy President Ruto said the Jubilee Administration has ensured equitable development across the country through various projects aimed at improving the livelihoods of all Kenyans.
“The journey which used to take three days has now been reduced to eight hours. In 2013 there were only 800 households connected to electricity in Marsabit County, now we have expanded it to 10,000 homes,” said the Deputy President.
He urged Moyale residents to reject the opposition, which has nothing to offer in terms of development, and instead vote for Jubilee whose development delivery track record speaks for itself.
Other speakers included the gubernatorial candidates for Marsabit County Mohamed Mohamud Ali (Jubilee) and Ukur Yattani (Frontier Alliance Party).
