The Kenya National Congress (KNC) leader Manson Nyamweya has said that President Uhuru Kenyatta’s advisors have failed to give him direction regarding the high cost of basic commodities.
He questioned the role of the experts around the head of state as Kenyans continue to suffer.“The President has all the experts who should advise him beforehand on challenges the country is facing- before crises occur,” he said as quoted by Star. The aspirant running against Kisii Governor James Ongwae said that the current leadership has not shown commitment towards changing the lives of the common mwananchi since it took over power after the last general polls.
Nyamweya said that it is not good for the government to distribute food to the people of this nation when we have the potential to produce more than we can consume.
Nyamweya, who is also the South Mugirango MP said that is it unfortunate President Kenyatta and his Deputy had a lot of time on their side but they did little to fight hunger and drought among other calamities that have affected the lives of Kenyans.
“It is high time President Uhuru Kenyatta quits office because he has failed to address the high cost of living,” Nyamweya told the Star on phone.
