He said the party is anchored on these two agenda. Ruto said it will be easy for President Uhuru Kenyatta to implement his ‘Big Four’ development agenda if Jubilee leaders are united and focused.
The Big Four are food security, affordable housing, manufacturing and affordable healthcare.
“Kenya will not be transformed through empty rhetoric, but by the implementation of development projects,” Ruto said. He spoke during a church service at Mwea Boys’ High School in Kirinyaga.
Ruto said the government is working with the Bank of Africa to implement a Sh1.5 billion water project in the county.
The national government, in partnership with the county governments, Ruto said, will roll out a major programme on healthcare. He said the government is committed to ensuring Kenyans have access to universal healthcare.
The DP was accompanied by a number of leaders, who promised to support Uhuru and Ruto in implementing the Jubilee manifesto. They also said they will support Ruto in 2022.
Kirinyaga Governor Anne Waiguru said she will work closely with the national government to improve development.
Murang’a Senator Irungu Kang’ata said Kenya has witnessed significant development during the Jubilee tenure. He cited electricity connections, increased number of NHIF beneficiaries and increased road network.
Kang’ata said Jubilee’s record is the reason they will support Ruto’s presidential ambition in 2022.
Gatundu South MP Moses Kuria appealed to fellow leaders to stop politicking and focus on growth. He said those interested in competitive politics should wait for 2022.
Igembe South MP John Mwirigi asked youth to support the good leadership displayed by Uhuru. Ndaragwa MP Jeremiah Kioni said since 2013, the Jubilee administration has displayed commitment to develop the country.
He urged governors to work with the national government for the sake of development.“Governors should not be roadblocks to development,” Kioni said. Kabinga Wathayu of Mwea said Kirinyaga leaders will work together as a team.
