President Kenyatta said he has delivered his pledges to the people of the county including the tarmacking of the Mwatate-Taveta road, whose construction Kenyans have waited for many decades.
The President said the Jubilee Government has also expanded access to electricity, provided free maternal health care, reduced the cost of education and has upgraded the Taveta hospital.
He urged residents to vote for Jubilee so that the Government can continue with its transformational agenda to create more jobs and wealth for Kenyans.
“Vote for Dan Mwazo as governor and all the Jubilee candidates so that I can get a team that will work with me to deliver more development to this county,” said the President.
MP Shaaban said there was a time the opposition used to claim popularity in Taita Taveta but that those days are gone.
“We are getting the development we have been yearning for since independence. We in Taita Taveta are getting our independence now and we are rallying behind Uhuru Kenyatta who is delivering that progress,” said the Taveta MP.
Mr Mwazo, the current senator and Jubilee gubernatorial candidate said the people of the region have shifted to rally behind President Kenyatta because he is a genuine leader who cares about the welfare of all Kenyans.
“In religion we are taught that faith without action is dead. People have moved to where there is faith with action,” said Mr Mwazo.
After the Taveta rally, President Kenyatta visited Wundanyi and Mwatate and was scheduled to wrap up his tour of the visit with a rally in Voi town.
