President Uhuru Kenyatta and DP William Ruto for the first time came out publicly, at different events to advance their agendas after the ruthless purge in Jubilee Party. While President Uhuru Kenyatta was in KICC, meeting state officials over development projects, his deputy was in Karen advancing his 2022 political agenda.

“The program will be free of any political interference. It’ll not be a process which politicians will use to get votes,” President Uhuru said when he spoke during the national roll out of Kazi Mtaani programme on Thursday.
Following the successful pilot phase of the program, the national roll out of the youth employment initiative will start on Monday next week.
The President said the pilot phase of the intervention, which was conducted in eight counties, had been a major success.
“I had the opportunity to visit a number of sites where these young people were working and I saw the positive impact they had in terms of improving lives and protecting the environment of those who are the most vulnerable,” he said.
The Head of State regretted that similar interventions were in the past mismanaged and, directed Regional and County Commissioners to take full control of the program.
