WHAT WE MUST ACHIEVE FOR ALL KENYANS.
We take this opportunity to thank all Kenyans who watched us yesterday. Many thanks for your overwhelming feedback. We are truly grateful.
Having participated in the previous national campaigns, I learnt important lessons on leadership. The main one is that campaigning is much easier. Governance needs more thought and is more engaging.
In the long run, what gets fulfilled is what has been well thought out and planned. We have taken a lot of time to look at most of the sectors: what we must do immediately after elections and what to be done later.
Below are some of the things that can be done without adding any additional burden of taxes to Kenyans.
1. Education.
A national commission like TSC to harmonise all ECDE teachers. To have their salaries harmonised nationwide. This will give all our Brothers and Sisters a chance to transfer without forfeiting their jobs. It will also be possible to negotiate on the national platform.
Have Free basic education by starting with Free Secondary Education from January 2028. The amount needed will come from NG CDF – Ksh 10 Bn, Counties' equitable share – Ksh 10 Bn, and National Government – Ksh 15 Bn. To cover all the 9,500 Senior Secondaries and all the 3.5M learners. The amount will also subsidise boarders with Ksh 10,000.
To open up the transfer of teachers for those who have served less than 5 years in their 1st posting.
Waive all tax arrears owed by Public Universities. The government to facilitate payment of statutory dues and debts.
A proper model of making sure all qualified university students get a chance. Is being looked at. We require an additional 80 billion Ksh. We will be working on an inclusive model.
2. Health.
To have the system that manages healthcare owned by the government.
On funding, there is a sticky funding gap. The action is to halve the amount of NSSF contribution and redirect around Ksh 40 Bn to healthcare. One can only enjoy pension when they are healthy and alive.
This is to help in taking care of chronic illnesses almost in totality. Many families are ravaged by bills.
Part of the redirected budget to handle upgrading of facilities and provision of supplies. To also have model institutions. We bring India to Kenya to serve Kenya and the region.
To have the Kenyan Doctors and Healthcare Workers Commission to handle employment and placement of healthcare workers. Kenya cannot continue to handle this element at the county level.
More personnel to be hired from the enhanced resources.
3. Jobs and creation of employment opportunities.
This is the major problem we face that calls for concerted effort.
Almost everything we do must be part of solving this problem.
Every CS to have a target on jobs created in their sectors.
Data to be released per Month or quarterly on net jobs created.
Grow the economy from all levels. Primary, secondary, and service. To be handled below.
4. Manufacturing – for Job creation and Economic growth.
Power cost must be low for this to happen. It must also be sufficient.
▪ Liberalise Power sector completely.
▪ Leverage on Kengen assets. With the right valuation. We can get close to 150 Bn for the 35% stake. Reinvest all the money into power generation.
▪ Halt IPPs. Unless they are publicly done.
Revamp our industrial policy with specific products. Reporting must be done every month to the head of State. Like what General Park did in the 1960s.
Have most parts of the Coastal counties like Mombasa, Kwale, Lamu and others designated as SEZ. Produce for export. We must create a Shenzhen that is regional and global-oriented.
Politics and way forward.
• We have joined the People's Party.
• All members have agreed that the People's Party joins the opposition immediately.
Thank you very much.
We are African and After is our Business..
Whatever the political class is feeding will really harm them one day. Unfortunately, some people in the ministry of interior are the organizers of this militia groups.
