President Uhuru Kenyatta has urged Kilifi County residents to support Jubilee, saying the party is focused on improving their lives.
Unlike the Opposition, 'which has no development agenda', Uhuru said Jubilee Party’s development record is open for all Kenyans to see, not only in Kilifi but across the country.
“While the Opposition has expanded its energy spreading propaganda, lies and preaching divisive politics, Jubilee has been working and implementing development projects to uplift lives of all Kenyans,” he said.
Uhuru was speaking when he addressed residents at Marekebuni, Gongoni and Ganda where he launched the Sh1.5 billion Sabaki – Marekebuni – Majengo – Marafa road and the Sh2.3 billion Kakuyuni-Gongoni and Kakuyuni-Kilifi pipeline project that would provide water to over 300,000 residents.
"The four opposition leaders, Raila, Kalonzo, Wetangula and Mudavadi, combine, have been in government for over 100 years- what have they done for you? What new will they do?''
"Ruto and I have been in government for less than seven years, and we are doing spectacularly good. Forget them and work with us,'' Uhuru told residents, Thursday.
Accompanied by his deputy William Ruto, he also inspected the progress of the construction of the sh4.2 billion Malindi – Kakoneni – Sala Gate road respectively.
Also present were Coast leaders including MPs Harrison Kombe (Magarini), Gideon Mungaro (Kilifi North), Mustafa Iddi (Kilifi South), Peter Shehe (Ganze) and Gonzi Rai (Kinango) as well as Tana River governor Hussein Dado and Kilifi Deputy governor Kenneth Kamto.
He also toured the neighbouring Lamu County.
