Kikuyu MP Kimani Ichung’wa has exuded confidence that President Uhuru Kenyatta will once again beat National Super Alliance (NASA) presidential flag bearer Raila Odinga in the August 8 general election.
Ichung’wa says that Uhuru will win the August election because he has fulfilled the pledges’ he made to Kenyans in 2013.
The Kikuyu MP says that Jubilee government has achieved most of the development pledges it made to Kenyans.
In an article in the Star newspaper, Ichung’wa cites infrastructure development, education reforms, international relations, employment creation, women empowerment, health care reforms and security as key areas where Uhuru’s administration has significantly performed.
Ichung’wa notes that the country’s infrastructure development has expanded with the construction of the Standard Gauge railway and expansion of roads.
“Infrastructure development is one of the major successes for Jubilee government,” he said as quoted by the Star.
The MP adds that high enrollment in primary, secondary and university education indicates the reforms Jubilee has achieved in the sector.
“We have witnessed massive reforms in the education sector in the last four years which is a reflection of Jubilee’s performance,” he added.
Ichung’wa also observed that Jubilee government has initiated and maintained good international relations with neighbouring countries and the globe at large which he says has resulted in the creation of trade ties with investors.
The Kikuyu MP also says that Jubilee government has fostered unity and reconciliation among Kenyan communities.
He laughed off NASA saying it cannot match Jubilee development agenda.
“The fact remains that NASA has nothing to offer Kenyans and should stop lying to that they can transform this nation,” he said.
The MP said that Uhuru will be re-elected because he has put the country on a global map in terms of development.
Uhuru will be facing off with Raila in the August 8 in the presidential election.
The President has dismissed NASA’s Raila-Kalonzo line up unveiled last week saying he will trounce it just as he did in 2013.
On Thursday in an inclusive interview on Citizen TV, Raila promised to champion Kenyans interests if elected.
He said that his government will champion fairness and equality without discriminating against tribes or communities.
Political analysts warn Jubilee against under-estimating NASA saying the alliance can send UhuRuto packing.
Analysts also observe that NASA will capitalise on Jubilee’s mistakes especially on corruption to campaign against President Kenyatta.
