I have No Political Project, Says Uhuru As He Blasts Politicians Criticising Govt Projects Featured

President Uhuru Kenyatta on Monday blasted politicians criticizing state projects while saying development cannot be done by standing ontop of cars.

In the statement  that seemed to me directed to his deputy, William Ruto and his Kenya Kwanza political Faction, Kenyatta asked politicians to stop deceiving electorates during their rallies.

The Head of State said he has been ignoring his critics to focus on the development projects that he was elected on to implement.

In an apparent attack at Ruto, Uhuru accused some officials of neglecting their mandate to focus on politics.Ruto and his allies have been accusing the President of being a dishonest man.

"A country that keeps on politicking will not achieve development, I am just watching them, because I am working, I have no time to answer them, “Kenyatta added in reference to scathing attacks from the Kenya Kwanza' brigade.

At the same time he responded to claims by Kenya Kwanza Alliance leaders led by deputy president William Ruto that he is fronting his Handshake partner Raila Odinga for the top seat.

The President who spoke in Mombasa admitted that indeed he has one vote but said he has also a right to decide on who he will back.

"They go everywhere telling me that i have only one vote, yes I have one vote, but even if it is one vote, I have a right to choose who i will vote for because I am also a Kenyan," Uhuru said sending indicators that he may support ODM leader Raila Odinga.

In an earlier address at the launch of the Annual Universal Healthcare Conference in Mombasa, Uhuru slammed politicians for continuously faulting his administration over performance.

Kenyatta who was flanked by health cabinet secretary Mutahi Kagwe said Kenya has made strides in the deliverance of key government promises, including quality health care services to its citizens.

"We are working. Work is not done in political rallies. It is done in offices," said Uhuru during the official opening of the Health Workforce Conference at Sarova Whitesands Mombasa.

He added: "Sina project ya mtu mimi… I am looking at them and I am not talking..what's the need of talking back at them when you are working?" he posed.

At the same time, Uhuru stated the time for politics is officially here and told those who have been politicking since 2017 to brace for his entry.

He used an analogy of a marathon yet again to say that those who have been running should now ready themselves for those who have been working.

"The political season is here and you will hear from us. There's time for work and time for politics. We all have the freedom to politic," he said in Mombasa.

On her part Likoni Mp Mishi Mboko said the coast is locked in Azimio,and will vote for Raila Odinga in the oncoming elections.

"Those that have eyes can see for themselves, as women, we are the big beneficiaries of the UHC program, that’s why we support your government, “said Mboko.

Mboko said the Uhuru government has done a lot of development especially on infrastructure at the coast, saying the region will continue to support president Uhuru government.

Mvita Member of Parliament Abdulswamand Nassir said since the handshake between the president and ODM leader Raila Odinga the coast is reaping from development.

"They come here pretending to know more about port issues, but they are just pretenders,” said Nassir in reference to Deputy president William Ruto Kenya Kwanza' rally in Mombasa.
