President Uhuru Kenyatta on Sunday chided opposition leaders stating that Moses Wetangula's Senatorial bid was recognition of their impending defeat in the August elections.
"They know they are losing. Some know they have been offered non-existent jobs. That's why they are running for these seats," President Kenyatta stated.
President Kenyatta pointed out that he and Deputy President William Ruto won in the last General Elections even when they faced International Criminal Court cases when Mr Raila Odinga and Mr KalonzoMusyoka were Prime Minister and Vice President respectively.
He reiterated that Jubilee would win the coming elections while its opponents will remain a loyal opposition.
“Our opponents will remain where they are as loyal opposition while Jubilee will continue to govern and transform the lives of Kenyans,” President Kenyatta said.
The Head of State cited the development his administration implemented across the country ranging from installation of modern medical equipment in two top hospitals in every county, construction of roads, provision of free maternity as some of the reasons why Kenyans will vote for Jubilee.
The President also spoke against divisive politics and urged Kenyans to live together in peace, love, and unity as the country inches closer to the August polls.
“This is the time that all Kenyans should unite and build the country. Village and tribal mentality will not take us anywhere. We have to join hands and work together to take the country to higher levels of development,” President Kenyatta said.
Deputy President Ruto outlined the Jubilee administration’s development blueprint for Bungoma County, saying top on the list will be the tarmacking of the Brigadier – Naitiri road among other key projects.
The Deputy President noted that the Naitiri hospital once faced challenges but the Jubilee administration moved in and installed modern medical equipment.
He affirmed the Jubilee Government’s stand that divisive and tribal politics have no place in modern Kenya.
President Kenyatta spoke on Sunday as he pitched for his re-election in Bungoma when he made several stops to address residents after attending a church service at St Teresas of Avillah Naitiri Catholic Parish.
