State House Spokesperson Kanze Dena has praised President Uhuru Kenyatta’s performance saying his 10-year tenure will be unforgettable among Kenyans.
In an interview on Monday on Radio Taifa, Dena outlined the President’s achievements under the Big Four Agenda that touches on Affordable Housing, Universal Health Coverage(UHC), Food Security, and Manufacturing.
“The needs of Kenyans come first in President Uhuru Kenyatta’s government. He is a true patriot who has a lot of confidence in Kenyans, especially for their hard work and zeal to grow the country’s economy,” Dena said
She pointed out that issues like the high cost of living and joblessness are a result of global crisis such as the Covid-19 pandemic and the ongoing Russia-Ukraine war.
Dena also refuted claims that the country’s public debt is unsustainable saying the government has the ability to service all the loans.
“There is no country in the world that has been able to develop without borrowing. The most important consideration when taking up public debt for development is the ability of the country to honor its debt obligations. Kenya has never failed to service its public debt,” she stated
“The high cost of living is not a permanent situation once the prevailing crisis is managed we expect lower food prices,” she added
Further, Dena highlighted key achievements by the government in regard to health care through the Universal Health Coverage(UHC) program.
“The government has made tremendous progress in the implementation of the Big Four Agenda. Under the UHC, the government has put up more well-equipped health facilities with adequate health workers. Kenyans no longer need to India for treatment of illnesses such as Cancer,” Dena cited
Dena also assured Kenyans that President Uhuru’s legacy projects will still be completed even after the August 9 general election.
“Government projects are transitionary in nature and not tied to the country’s political calendar. Ongoing infrastructure projects will continue beyond President Uhuru Kenyatta’s tenure because existing contracts will still be honored,” she noted
