Prime Cabinet Secretary Musalia Mudavadi has urged Kenyans to have faith in the leadership of President William Ruto.
Speaking in Bondo during a thanksgiving Prayer service held at the New Saint Michael and All Angels Cathedral Grounds, Mudavadi called for patience, affirming that the government is focused on exploring strategies to help get the economy back on track.
He assured that there is hope and that soon Kenyans will wake up to good news.
“Soon we shall be surprising you with good news and pleasantries. I want Kenyans to have faith in this administration and have faith in President Ruto’s leadership,” Mudavadi said on Sunday.
“We are all alive to what is happening and the challenges we are facing as a country. We are going to work through the difficult situation and soon Kenyans will see the difference.”
He reiterated the need for Kenyans to embrace peace as part of key aspects that will help Kenya achieve its economic transformation agenda.
The PCS noted that the world is witnessing unrest in many regions, and this is posing a threat to the economic stability of various nations.
He, however, stated that the government is exploring various strategies on trade and investment frontiers that will help unlock the potential of the Kenyan market to the outside world.
“Paramount to all, we need peace at all times, not only here in Kenya but also across the globe. In war, there are no winners, and in peace, there are no losers.”
Mudavadi added that Kenya is seeking comprehensive and sustainable partnerships when negotiating with like-minded nations in trade and investment.
“Through the leadership of President Ruto who has tasked the Principal Secretary in the State Department for Trade, a son of Nyanza, Alfred K’Ombundo the government is engaging countries like the United States of America and the Gulf nations,” he added.
“We have already negotiated Economic Partnership Agreements with 27 European Union countries and soon Kenya will be exporting goods to those countries duty-free and without any quotas imposed on the exports. For you in Luo Nyanza, this means your fish and horticultural products will be reaching the foreign market in Europe easily and the returns will be high.”
Mudavadi assured Siaya residents that President Ruto is aware of the challenges the region is facing and will soon tour the region to ensure its development agenda is realised.
The PCS had earlier in the day opened the ACK Trinity Church House in Bondo town, a 7-storey building constructed under the initiative of the archdiocese of Bondo.
He also presided over a fund-raiser to aid the archdiocese in completing the remaining construction works of the building.
