“There has to be less rhetoric. We have to stop advertising what you will do. Act! The government is not an advertising agency. It is an agency that implements actions, that’s what we want to see,” he said
Responding to the statement, Ruto and Kindiki noted that they will not stop taking about the billions the government is spending to ensure that the lives of Kenyans are made better.
“We are determined to have a united and equitable nation. We will continue telling Kenyans what we are doing as a government. It is not our fault, we are discharging what our Constitution mandates and allows us to do,” said President Ruto
“Some political and church leaders are trying to gag us from speaking about the projects and programs the government is implementing. Our Constitution tasks us to tell Kenyans all the programmes planned for implementation, when and how they will be implemented,” said Kindiki
Kindiki continued by called on people to stop politicizing matters development as they will not stop enging Kenyans as to what they are planning to do for them.
“It is our duty to inform the country of all planned development activities, when those activities are being implemented and to inform them after they have been implemented. We shouldn’t politicize development because the time for politics will come,” he said
