MARTHA KARUA: President Kenyatta & Jubilee government has failed in their duty of care to the citizens.
In press statement to media houses today, Narc Kenya leader said that:
In the last three years, multiple Opinion Polls have highlighted with significant clarity what the people of Kenya consider pressing needs, all of which have become ever more urgent with the Corona pandemic. These include basic needs for (all) food, shelter and security from arbitrary eviction, quality accessible and affordable healthcare and protection of livelihoods and economic opportunities that can sustain ordinary citizens.
She also lamented that:
President Kenyatta and his government have ignored these pressing needs, preferring their private and political priorities. Billions of shillings are being spent on projects with questionable public utility values.
Billions more have been spent on building bridges where there are no rivers, in essence, a breaking bridges initiative. We can no longer accept to tie the destiny of tens of millions of Kenyans to the short term and selfish desires of heartless leadership.
We are stating unequivocally that President Kenyatta’s private interests and 2022 succession must not be forced on Kenyans when his government remains incapable of doing what governments are supposed to do: TAKE CARE OF ITS CITIZENS and DO NO HARM TO THEM.
She further said
For all practical purposes, this government has collapsed. The only things that seem to be functioning in this government are mis-procurement, taxation, and political patronage. KENYANS DESERVE BETTER.
