Machakos County Governor Alfred Mutua has today addressed the tough conditions that Kenyans are going through as a result of a harsh economy.
Mutua links the harsh economy to its root cause which he says is corruption.
The Governor say that everyone is responsible to take part in the war against graft and not only sit back and wait on the agencies.
He also understands that Life is very difficult for Kenyans as he noted that the rich are comfortable whereas the rest of Kenyans are barely surviving.
“There is little money in circulation and hardly any new jobs for our millions of unemployed youth” he stated
Mutua’s wish for economic growth in Kenya is that every shilling is used efficiently to add money into the pockets and purses of Kenyans.
To achieve this, the Governor called for dealing with corruption mercilessly and speeding up development projects that spur consumer spending and creation of jobs.
“Adding money into our pockets will not come from visits to functions but by a concerted 24 hour guidance by leaders to completion of development projects.” He said
Mutua says that Kenyans are tired and leaders should ask themselves whether they are focusing on 2022 politics or fueling development.
He also added that what Kenyans need is a generational change in the leadership system.
He reiterated that he will be at the forefront of this generational change so that the nation can restore hope and make their dreams come true.
