The Prime Cabinet Secretary, who is also the Foreign and Diaspora Affairs CS, has urged his Kenya Kwanza counterparts to stop complaining about the previous regime and focus on delivering their promises to Kenyans.

While speaking in Vihiga County during the 44th Vihiga Cultural Festival yesterday, Mudavadi admitted that the cost of living has gone up and a lot needs to be done to improve the country’s economic status.

“As a former finance minister, I agree that the cost of living has gone up. There’s no doubt that what we found was bad. But the truth is, lamenting will not help. We have to put things straight,” he said.

The prime cabinet secretary further told the leaders that there are three more years before the 2027 general elections.

Mudavadi further assured Kenyans that the Kenya Kwanza government would address the problems facing education, health, agriculture, energy, and other sectors in order to provide employment for 70% of the country’s population.

The Kenya Kwanza government is fond of blaming its predecessor (Uhuru Kenyatta’s government) for the country’s state of the economy.

For instance, on December 18, during a round table with the press at the Statehouse, President William Ruto blamed the depreciating Kenyan shilling on Uhuru’s government.

Ruto claimed the former administration “artificially” suppressed the value of the dollar against the Kenyan shilling.

He explained that it was done by selling Kenya’s dollar reserves to the market so that they could increase the supply of dollars at a rate that was not the actual price, a form of subsidized price.

“The then government spent 2.6 billion US dollars (almost KES 400 billion) to support the Kenyan shilling so that it did not go to its actual exchange rate,” Ruto said.
