Machakos Governor Alfred Mutua has revealed why he has not declared his 2022 presidential manifesto.
In an interview on Citizen TV on Thursday, November 4, Mutua said that he is keeping his 2022 presidential a secret to prevent opponents from copying it.
“I’ll come up with my manifesto which covers all these things, and I don’t want to talk about them now because some people keep on copying what I say,” Mutua stated.
The 2022 presidential aspirant blasted his opponents, saying their manifestos are not providing solutions to the problems that Kenyans are facing.
“I am seeing promises that have nothing to do with stimulating growth, I am not seeing ideas about our consumer-driven economy… ideas to generate more revenue to meet the demands, we have debts to pay,” said the governor.
Alfred Mutua’s statement comes after a promise by OKA leaders that they will repay Kenya’s debts in 2 years.
Speaking during a church service on Sunday, Wiper Party leader Kalonzo Musyoka said that the funds that will be used to pay the debts will come from mining activities.
“One of the things we are proposing as OKA is our copper and iron-filled hills… a lot of these places we have not discovered have very valuable resources,” said Kalonzo.
Among the many candidates that have declared their presidential bid, only William Ruto has unveiled his manifesto.
Ruto has been going around the country, popularising his bottom-up economic approach.
“Bottom-up is focused on deliberately creating jobs, liberating enterprises from shylock-credit exploitation and unfair regulation and empowering our resource-poor farmers to produce and free them from the slavery/indignity of relief food aid,” Ruto described the economic model.
The model has attracted criticism from his opponents, who have described it as a means to loot public funds.
However, Ruto has been challenging them to unveil their own manifestos.
