CS defends President Kenyatta over constant criticism by Raila

Education Cabinet Secretary Fred Matiang’i has come out in defence of President Uhuru Kenyatta over recent criticism by Cord leader Raila Odinga.
During a tour of Nyamira County, Raila said that Kenya will be completely ruined if Jubilee was allowed to rule for another five years.
Over the weekend, CS Matiang’i said that it was ridiculous that Raila has never seen anything positive in President Uhuru Kenyatta.
Matiang’i said that the opposition leader often criticises Uhuru and everything done under his administration since he took office.
“There is no way one can keep on criticising the government as if it has never done anything positive,” he said.
He told Raila to come out and tell Kenyans what he did for them when he was in office as Prime Minister under the grand coalition government.
 
“It is good to also commend (the administration) on what it has achieved in terms of development and not just always criticising,” Matiang’i said.
The CS at the same time criticised leaders who visit Gusii region without any development agenda and emphasised on the importance of assessing the performance record of leaders.
However, of dozens of ills including police brutality, corruption, unemployment and economic distress.
He told the Gusii community that he was ready to dislodge President Kenyatta next year and urged the thousands of youth present that they could vote out Jubilee if they registered as voters.
He also accused Jubilee of refusing to implement the recommendations of the Truth, Justice and Reconciliation Commission.
