Saturday, January 3, 2025 - Treasury Cabinet Secretary John Mbadi has absolved President William Ruto and his government from the blame over the traffic snarl-up on major highways in the country.
This is after he blamed former
President Uhuru Kenyatta for the mess on our roads.
Speaking during the funeral service of the late Mama Anne Nanyama, Mbadi criticized key infrastructure projects undertaken during Uhuru's leadership, following severe congestion experienced as Kenyans traveled home for Christmas.
Mbadi questioned how decisions
to fund key infrastructural projects were arrived at under the previous
regimes.
According to the CS, as a result
of the mishaps in the fiscal decisions, the current government has
been forced to carry the blame.
Mbadi questioned the fiscal viability
of constructing some highways leading to some parts of the country while
leaving out some that, in his eyes, offer better rewards. He, however, did not
mention the roads by name.
In what might be viewed as
throwing a jab at the previous regime under the leadership of Uhuru, the CS
lashed out at the critics of the current government's financial struggles.
According to the CS, the issue
of Kenyans still finding it hard to enjoy the ripple effects of a stabilizing
economy cannot be solely blamed on the current regime.
Mbadi has also opened up on why
a majority of Kenyans are still suffering from the tough economic situation
despite the government assurances that the economy has stabilized.
''If we are complaining about
the bad economy, it is because of two reasons. Number one is the public debt,
and two is because of the pending bills. Are you telling us that all these came
when Ruto was the President?'' questioned Mbadi while lashing out at the
government critics.
''Why have we forgotten how we
arrived here? Why are we blaming Ruto for fixing a problem that was created?
