Speaking at State Lodge Kakamega on Wednesday during a meeting with Western region leaders, President Kenyatta said it is unfortunate that the opposition has always capitalized on the suffering of Kenyans to gain political mileage instead of coming up with solutions.
“It is unfortunate that for far too long our politics have been used to elevate individuals to positions of leadership for personal gain and not to bring solutions to the problems affecting wananchi,” President Kenyatta said.
He said the difference between the Jubilee party and the National Super Alliance (NASA) is that the opposition thrives in propaganda and lies while Jubilee is selling policies aimed at improving the livelihood of all Kenyans.
“If you are an honest politician you will listen to the agenda of your opponent and when you find it to be practical you appreciate it.
“However, I have keenly followed what my opponents are saying and truly there is nothing apart from propagating lies and propaganda which is aimed at dividing Kenyans along tribal lines,” said President Kenyatta.
The President said the government has imported enough quantity of maize and that the price of unga will remain low.
He assured Kenyans that the measures taken by the government will ensure the cost of living reduces and that all Kenyans have enough food for their families.
“We have ordered enough maize and once it reaches to all homesteads I don’t what our opponents will say because they have used this issue to propagate propaganda and lies,” said the President.
President Kenyatta was responding to wananchi when he stopped to address them at the roadside in Kakamega town.
President Kenyatta was accompanied by western region leaders including Bungoma Governor Ken Lusaka among others.
