President Uhuru Kenyatta Tuesday took the Jubilee Party Manifesto to the people, barely hours after it was formally launched at a grand ceremony in Nairobi last evening.
The President toured the County of Tharaka Nithi where he promoted the Jubilee Manifesto as superior to anything that the opposition can dream of coming up with.
He said the party’s manifesto is a blueprint that will ensure Kenya achieves robust growth and becomes a nation that offers shared prosperity for its Sh45 million citizens.
The President explained to residents the key pledges in the Manifesto in which his Administration pledges to creates Sh1.3 million jobs every year.
He said the Jubilee Party has a robust plan that will propel Kenya forward in its journey to prosperity, and is centered on more jobs and rapid industrialisation.
On Monday evening, as he set the stage for the launch of the manifesto, President Kenyatta had promised that he would give Kenyans a Government that works with, and empowers the people.
“We will empower the Ksh45 million people so that they can stand up for themselves without depending on the government and donors,” said the President.
He said the focus of the Jubilee Government in the next five years will be to create more jobs and wealth through proper policies and financing to speed up the industrialisation of the country.
While popularizing the Manifesto in the populous Tharaka Nithi County, President Kenyatta said that employment creation was at the heart of the next Jubilee administration’s priorities.
“We will create at least Ksh6.5 million jobs over five years so that our youth can secure good jobs so that they can enjoy a decent life,” said the President.
He said his Government promises to continue to develop transport, ICT and energy infrastructure so that Kenya attracts global industry thereby expanding the availability of sustainable Jobs for everyone.
