IEBC boss Wafula Chebukati leaves office today as he completes his six-year tenure. We are all proud of the hero in you that saved the nation in August 2022. Let's take our time to wish him the very best in future endeavours. Type a few words of encouragement and best wishes.
To enhance and protect the quality of service delivery to the public, the government is committed to strengthening all devolved units and governance structures.
As we continue remembering the legacy of our heroes and heroines, it remains the duty of every Kenyan to play their role in making Kenya Great.
Let's mark this day in honour of all great Kenyans who have performed deeds that lead to the continuous transformation of our nation.
My wife Tessie and I joined H.E President @WilliamsRuto, Deputy President @rigathi Gachagua and other leaders in marking this year's Mashujaa Day, the first National Celebration under the new dispensation of the Kenya Kwanza Government.
In our PLAN, we target to increase housing supply four-fold from 50,000 to 200,000 a year. We have completed 2,592 units while 40,452 are a work-in-progress. It is our commitment that every Kenyan has access to affordable housing.
We are taking bold steps to revive our agriculture so as to end reliance on rain-fed farming and perpetual hunger. We are distributing quality inputs as well as ensuring that our farmers have access to extension services to enhance production.
I thank the @NAssemblyKE Committee on appointments for hosting me during today's vetting session.
Service to Kenyans remains my focus.
We must restore trust in Government.
A supportive environment can build a competitive tech start-up ecosystem that generate life-changing innovations in Africa. Safaricom’s success story is such an enduring innovation of how tech revolution is bypassing traditional barriers to deliver sustainable prosperity.
Kudos to Speaker @HonWetangula for your powerful and well reasoned ruling in the National Assembly today.
Meanwhile I urge our Members of Parliament to exercise restraint as they handle our National Affairs.
Africa must consciously place science at the centre of its planning. It must increase funding for research and work with scientists to generate fresh data and ideas that can guide policy interventions to drive economic growth.
This message is also befitting for Hon @OsoroSylvanus & Hon Naomi Waqo who formally become Majority Whip & Deputy Whip respectively.
The National Assembly Speaker’s ruling has now put this matter to rest. It is now time to serve the people of Kenya.
Congratulations Hon @KIMANIICHUNGWAH and Hon Owen Baya for assuming your deserved roles as Majority Leader and Deputy Majority Leader respectively in the National Assembly.
We urge Parliament to consider a mechanism in the Standing Orders to facilitate Cabinet Secretaries articulate Government agenda, explain policies and answer questions on the floor of the House to enhance accountability.
Our administration is openly pursuing a transformational programme that offers a uniquely all-Kenyan moment. This calls for unity of purpose in the Legislature to ensure the public gets value for resources invested in every policy, programme and project.
Honoured to have attended the Official Opening of the 13th Parliament by H.E President @WilliamsRuto, as he addressed the joint sitting of the @NAssemblyKE and the @Senate_KE, outlining the Kenya Kwanza government agenda for the country.
