The choice in the August 2017 election is between his team that has delivered on its pledges of investing in the Kenyan people against opponents feeding the nation on empty propaganda, President Uhuru Kenyatta said on Friday.
President Kenyatta and Deputy President William Ruto, on a campaign blitz in the counties of Nyandarua, Laikipia and Nakuru, told residents to keep the faith in their team, which has already delivered on pledges to build a new rail and roads, and provided cleaner water, free maternity for women, and clean exams.
President Kenyatta said the visit to the three counties marked the start of his campaigns, but the tour came after whistle stops through seven counties on Wednesday when he commissioned “Madaraka Express” SGR, and a visit to Nyeri for Madaraka Day on Thursday.
“The choice is clear. They say they are 10-million strong. But we represent all Kenyans, 45-million strong. We want no Kenyan to be left behind in our journey of transformation and economic uplifting,” President Kenyatta told thousands of people in Nyahururu.
“The choice is about my team, which puts Kenya first, which has delivered on its promises to invest heavily to improve the lives of every Kenyan, against people heavy on rhetoric and propaganda but empty on action,” President Kenyatta said.
On Wednesday the President delivered the “Madaraka Express” SGR to Nairobi, fulfilling one of his key promises. On Friday, Lands CS Jacob Kaimenyi said his ministry had delivered 2.8 million title deeds, and the pledge of three million would be met within weeks.
