Unity in Focus: MCAs Back President Ruto's Agenda Amidst Political Turmoil

By Bruno Aero

The Members of the County Assembly (MCAs) have thrown their weight behind President William Ruto's broad-based government, emphasizing the importance of unity in driving the country's progress. In a statement, the MCAs noted that Kenya's unity has earned the country global recognition and continental respect, and that this progress should not be compromised by individual interests.

Prioritizing the Needs of Kenyans

The MCAs highlighted the pressing issues that Kenyans are facing, including unemployment, lack of affordable healthcare, housing, and food insecurity. They urged President Ruto to stay focused on addressing these challenges, rather than getting distracted by opposition noise. "The youth of Kenya need jobs and opportunities. The women and men need decent homes. The sick need proper and affordable medical attention. Kenyans need food on their tables," the MCAs said.

A Rebuke to Gachagua

The MCAs also criticized Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua's recent remarks, describing them as an insult to the aspirations of Kenyans. They emphasized that leaders should prioritize the needs of the country over personal interests and petty politics. The MCAs' rebuke of Gachagua's remarks underscores the growing tensions within the government.

A Call to Action

In a call to action, the MCAs urged all leaders to put Kenya first and support the President's agenda. They emphasized that the country's progress is dependent on the ability of its leaders to work together towards a common goal. "Kenya is greater than individuals. Kenya is greater than short-term politics. Kenya is greater than Rigathi Gachagua's bitterness," the MCAs said.

A Message of Unity

The MCAs' statement is a message of unity and a call to action for leaders to prioritize the needs of Kenyans. As the country navigates the complexities of politics and governance, it is clear that unity and a focus on the needs of Kenyans will be crucial in determining its future trajectory. By putting Kenya first, leaders can work towards a brighter future for all Kenyans.
