President Uhuru Kenyatta has assured Nairobians that Jubilee had picked a team that understands their needs unlike the opposition, which has rundown the city.
“We know you have suffered under the current county leadership but we assure you that Sonko and his team will transform that,” President Kenyatta said.
Deputy President Ruto said Jubilee has put in place an effective action plan that will create jobs for the youth in Nairobi and across the country.
He cited the construction of the Standard Gauge Railway, the improvement of roads and expanding electricity connection as part of the industrialisation agenda that will create employment.
“We have laid the industrialisation foundation that will create thousands of jobs for the youth,” the Deputy President said.
He added: “We want to continue the work we are doing. But we also want you to give us a strong Jubilee team led by (aspirant) Governor Mike Sonko,” the Deputy President said.
The Deputy President also slammed the opposition for their attempts to delay the August polls by using court cases.
He welcomed Thursday’s Court of Appeal ruling that ensured that the polls will be held on schedule as required by the Constitution.
