President Uhuru, Ruto, Give Their Take On The NASA Lineup: They’re Only Interested In Power

President Uhuru Kenyatta has dismissed the NASA power-sharing lineup as nothing more than a ploy to create jobs for its leading figures.The President said the opposition politicians have lost focus of what leadership means by wasting their energy on how to create positions of power for themselves rather than spending their efforts to improve the welfare of Kenyans.He said the opposition group has for a long time been hoodwinking Kenyans with a promise to provide an alternative only to end up with a blueprint for jobs for themselves.“This was never about the country. It was about giving jobs for themselves instead of the millions of Kenyans who need jobs,” said the President.“While they are lying to each other about Prime Minister and Deputy Prime Ministers positions which is not in the Constitution, we in the Jubilee Party are busy committed to entrenching democracy to develop the country.”Deputy President William Ruto said the difference between the Jubilee Party and the opposition in terms of promoting democracy was clear like day and night.He said the Jubilee Party has conducted transparent nominations where voters have made real choices whereas the opposition literally auctioned nomination certificates.The DP also dismissed the opposition lineup as worthless as far as the progress of Kenya is concerned.“There is a difference between sharing positions between the elite and creating wealth for our people,” said the Deputy President.The Deputy President said the opposition has for more than a year promised Kenyans they would announce a new lineup but ended up naming the same people who vied for elections in 2013.“These are people who are only interested in fake stories and lofty positions,” said the Deputy President.The President addressed rallies in Githurai, Ruiru, Juja and Thika town.
