Good morning,
The leading presidential candidates on Saturday made their final submissions in a bid to woo undecided Kenyans and now we are literally hours away until polling stations open for the decisive elections.
In his campaign trail, Deputy President William Ruto together with his Kenya Kwanza team has promised to revive the economy through his Bottom-Up model that aims at elevating Kenyans with little income.
On the hand, Azimio presidential candidate Raila Odinga has promised to deal with corruption ruthlessly as well as introduce social protection programs for the poor and vulnerable in the society to have a more decent lifestyle.
Moreover, the two leaders, in their last rallies, promised to extend their hands to opponents regardless of whoever won, a move that could quell animosity during the electioneering period.
And as these two protagonists made their plea to voters, outgoing President Uhuru Kenyatta has been traversing various parts of the country to launch and commission some of the projects he hopes will be part of his legacy.
Do you think these two have what it takes to move Kenya forward? Has President Uhuru done enough in his 10-year tenure as the Head of State?
Meanwhile, here are the stories making headlines on Opera News today:
