“Time Not Enough For Kenya Kwanza To Deliver Its Pledges!” – PCS Mudavadi
Prime Cabinet Secretary Musalia Mudavadi has warned that the Kenya Kwanza administration must act quickly to fulfill its pledges as the country prepares for the 2027 elections.
With only roughly 20 months until the next elections, Mudavadi said their priority is to ensure that the government’s commitments under the Bottom-Up Economic Transformation Agenda (BETA) are translated into actual results that directly benefit citizens’ lives.
“We are now about 20 months away from the August 2027 General Election,” he said.
“This remaining period represents the most critical phase for the Administration to deliver on the promises made to the Kenyan people under the BETA Plan.”
The PCS, who is also the CS for Foreign and Diaspora Affairs, was addressing the Kenya School of Government’s (KSG) 2nd combined Cabinet and National Development Implementation Committee (NDIC) meeting in Lower Kabete, Nairobi County, in 2025.
Mudavadi stated that the committee serves as the engine room for government delivery, driving coordination, accountability, and outcomes in the implementation of Kenya’s national development strategy.
“It embodies the Whole-of-Government approach to ensure that every shilling spent translates into visible and measurable impact for the people of Kenya,” he said.

“NDIC is about turning government promises into real, measurable results — driving efficiency, accountability, and prosperity for all.”
Mudavadi stated that, while the government has made significant progress, the people has yet to see the results, which he attributes to inadequate communication techniques regarding government programs.
“Despite these solid achievements, I continue to receive important feedback from stakeholders through the National Government Dashboard, which flags the flaw in how we communicate with the people of Kenya,” the Prime CS said.
The PCS praised Taifa care, a Universal Health Coverage (UHC) scheme operated by the Social Health Authority (SHA), which he said has improved the lives of millions of Kenyans.
According to him, the programme’s membership has grown from eight million in 2022 to more than 27 million in November 2025, a 240% rise.
“Additionally, over 6.4 million Kenyans have undergone means testing with an average contribution of Sh592,” the PCS stated.
“This health insurance is so affordable that 86 percent of the families pay less than Sh1,000 monthly. Kenyans are accessing free healthcare in our hospitals.
“Even though it is real, we cannot shy away from the challenges that need to be addressed to ensure that our goal in achieving UHC is fully met,” he said.
In education, Mudavadi stated that there have been measures that have yielded spectacular outcomes, mentioning the school feeding programme as a game changer.
“In 2022, there were 2.2 million learners in our schools but with the introduction of this programme, the number of learners in schools rose to 2.6 million in 2025,” Mudavadi stated.

“Furthermore, we have constructed 23,000 new classrooms and employed 76,000 teachers. Essentially, this programme helps retain learners in school in the affected counties, thus improving the overall transition rate and not leaving anyone behind.”
According to Mudavadi, the NDIC’s motto of “Consolidating our fiscal space in a new world order for better service delivery” speaks directly to their joint responsibilities.
The goal is to improve policy coherence, institutional accountability, financial diversification, and the effective execution of government programs across all Ministries, Departments, and Agencies (MDAs).
“Amidst all these pressures, we are alive, to the headwinds from the global economy—waning development assistance, mainly concessional resources, geopolitical changes and uncertainties arising from the ongoing trade wars,” he said.
