Interior Cabinet Secretary Fred Matiangi has said President Uhuru Kenyatta kept his promises to Kenyans and even over performed in his ten years in office.
While speaking on Madaraka Day at the State House, the Interior Cabinet Secretary said the Head of State, actualized his Jubilee Government’s manifesto including bringing exceptional reforms in the security sector.
“Quite frankly, the president has more than kept his promise. He has over performed because if you look at Jubilee’s manifesto of 2013 and you look at what has happened, it is shocking. The President has over performed. It was not just about implementing his manifesto, he has exerted himself and galvanized his administration to provide services to the people of Kenya and has moved our country to the next level,” Matiangi said.
Matiangi further urged Kenyans to give credit where it’s due and acknowledge what has been done, bearing in mind that no one is perfect.
“Our neighbors and everyone around are shocked about some of the things that we are able to do as a country only that Kenyans like beating up themselves to much but truth be told a lot of stuff has happened and the country is way too ahead of where it would have been if the President only concentrated on the manifesto a lone,” Matiangi added.
The CS pointed out that since President Kenyatta took over, 100,000 police officers have been recruited and deployed to various parts of the country. He added that his sector has over 26,000 vehicles moving around the country to ensure security prevails, something that was not there in 2013.
Likewise, President Kenyatta on Wednesday led Kenyans in celebrating the 59th Madaraka day, marking his final national celebrations in office ahead of the August 9 polls.
