State House Spokesperson Kanze Dena has told off President Uhuru Kenyatta’s critics saying that they should appreciate the work he has done for the country.
This comes after a series of attacks by politicians, particularly those aligned with Deputy President William Ruto, who have slammed President Kenyatta’s work since his handshake with ODM leader Raila Odinga in 2018.
“How would you feel if you have done your work and everyone can see that you have done your work but someone is saying that you have done nothing? The president is human, he is not an angel,” she said.
Similarly, the TangaTanga team had enraged the Commander-in-Chief with their relentless denunciation of the 2018 handshake, which they said had derailed critical government projects, according to the Spokesperson.
The handshake, Kanze said,brought the country together at a moment of difficulty and provided President Kenyatta ample time to complete a number of projects.
“The President has talked about his decisions from 2018 when he shook hands with opposition leader Raila Odinga and how the arrangement has enabled him to successfully deliver his pre-election pledges,” said Kanze.
stated that the Big 4 agenda were being implemented for the benefit of all Kenyans, and that the government was working in their best interests.
“Every decision President Kenyatta makes, he does it with the best of interest of mwananchi at heart. This is why he came up with the Big 4 Agenda program that prioritizes manufacturing, affordable housing, food security and UHC projects,” she said.
“Government infrastructure projects are aimed at enabling economic activities which in turn generate wealth and create employment for the population and this may take time.”
She further highlighted the ongoing projects such as Universal Health Coverage (UHC), infrastructure, and digitization of government services saying the government was committed to ensuring their completion.
“The implementation of President Uhuru Kenyatta’s Big 4 Agenda programs and other flagship infrastructure projects is progressing very well. President Kenyatta is determined to ensure that all ongoing Gov’t development projects are completed as scheduled,” she explained.
Projects yet to be completed during the transition after August polls, Kanze said, would be forwarded to the next government.
She said: “Projects that will be unfinished by the end of President Kenyatta’s tenure later this year will be taken over by the next administration. That’s how government works.”
