President Uhuru Kenyatta has urged residents in Bomet County to vote for his Jubilee administration to avoid the 'pitfalls of a coalition government being fronted by the opposition.'
He said in the last four-and-a-half years his administration has managed to deliver on its promises because Jubilee is a united government working in harmony to implement projects that are lifting the lives of Kenyans.“We have been able to deliver unprecedented development across the country in the short period we have been in office because I and Deputy President William Ruto have worked together in harmony, running a united government for the benefit of all Kenyans,” Kenyatta said.Speaking when he addressed a rally in Bomet town on Monday, Uhuru wondered why area governor Isaac Ruto dumped him and DP Ruto, for the National Super Alliance (Nasa).
He said Ruto, who formed the CCM party after partying ways with the duo, was a good person, before joining the Opposition.
"Sometimes I ask myself what's wrong with Ruto? Why did he leave to follow that man who has failed Kenyans?" wondered Uhuru, referring to Nasa flag bearer Raila Odinga.
He further asked Bomet residents to vote out the governor, by voting for Sotik MP Joyce Laboso, who is a Jubilee candidate.
“Bomet needs Dr Laboso to undergo rapid transformation that will translate to real benefit for the residents,” Kenyatta said.Deputy President William Ruto, who accompanied the president, urged residents to vote for Jubilee instead of the opposition which was thriving on lies and propaganda.Ruto said Jubilee’s development track record speaks for itself, citing the construction of over 260 kilometres of new roads, installation of modern state-of-the-art medical equipment at a cost of Kshs 810 million at Longisa Level 5 and Ndanai Level 4 hospitals, and the new connection of electricity to 40,000 household up from only 10,000 before 2013.
