“We Are Successful” – Oscar Sudi Considers Kenya Kwanza Has Flourished
Three MPs from Uasin Gishu have urged Kenyans not to abandon President William Ruto’s economic recovery plan.
Kenyans, who are struggling with shrinking incomes and concerned about public waste and corruption, have reacted angrily to repeated tax increases.
Oscar Sudi, a Kapseret MP, stated that while some of the economic measures are painful, the end result will be long-term gains for Kenya.
“We are already 75 percent successful and by the end of this year, things will be different,” he said.
He was in Eldoret with Turbo MP Janet Sitienei, who nominated MP Joseph Wainaina.
Sudi stated that Kenya will be free of its heavy foreign debts and that the cost of living will fall dramatically.
“Let us not get tired but continue to stand with our President because his vision for this country is working already. In a few more months, the country’s economy will be very stable,” he said.
He condemned leaders who sought to introduce tribalism into the country’s politics.
“Kikuyus should stop this thing of calling themselves Mt Kenya groups yet they are national and found in all corners of the country,” Sudi said.
Wainaina also assured Kenyans that, despite opposition to increased taxation, the funds collected are for the benefit of Kenyans.
“We will pass the Finance Bill in Parliament because we know it has provisions that will benefit Kenyans,” he said.
Wainaina stated that the bill includes additional measures that will allow the government to raise more funds so that it can provide quality services to Kenyans, particularly in healthcare and education.
“We should look at the positives in the bill which are more, and also consider the long-term gains for our country,” the MP said.
Sitienei stated that Ruto’s plan is to ensure that ordinary Kenyans have better access to quality and affordable healthcare, education, and food.
“When we look at sectors like agriculture, we note that already, measures like distribution of subsidised fertiliser are paying off, with increased food production in all parts of the country,” Sitienei said.
Sudi urged leaders to shift their focus away from development and toward politics, as elections are still a long way off.
