Amani National Congress (ANC) party leader Musalia Mudavadi, unveiled an ambitious economic blueprint on Monday, August 9.

In the blueprint, Mudavadi promised to prioritize job creation, fight against corruption, and reduce the public debt owed to foreign countries by Kenya.

While unveiling his economic model dubbed “uchumi bora kwa wote na pesa mfukoni” he promised to engage in decisive practical steps for an accelerated economic recovery and revival to create opportunities for Kenyans. 

“While the pursuit of long-term strategic goals is critical for sustainable development, the immediate well-being of Kenyans is paramount before the prosperity envisioned under “uchumi bora kwa wote pesa mfukoni," the party boss stated.
