“Hata yule mtu
hakuna rekodi ya kuonyesha alipokuwa makamu wa rais, hadi sasa tunamtengenezea
barabara kule kwake Tseikuru, kwake huko Ukambani,” he said.
“Tunataka muwe
nyuma ya naibu rais, ndio atuongoze mlimani, akimaliza Ruto achukuwe usukani,”
Energy Principal Secretary Alex Wachra added.
This comes as a
section of broad-based leaders rallied support for President Ruto in Mbooni,
Makueni County.
Pro-government
leaders drummed up support for Ruto, saying the Kenya Kwanza administration has
ensured equitable development across the country.
“Hakuna wakati
tumepata maendeleo kama hii miaka minne tumepata kutoka kwa Rais William Ruto,
nikianza kuhesabu,” said Aviation PS Teresia Mbaika.
“Wasituuzie uoga
hapa eti UDA haiuziki hapa. Watuwachie demokrasia, tutauza demokrasia hapa,
tuuze UDA Taveta na Central Kenya,” added Taveta MP John Bwire.
DP Kindiki at the
same time warned underperforming contractors to shape up as the government
races against time to complete development projects before the 2027 contest.
“I want to tell
the contractors who are lazy, waambie tutawatoa na tulete watu wengine ndio
miradi ikamilishe,” Kindiki warned.
