Mumias East MP Peter Salasya has attacked President William Ruto and Kenya Kwanza legislators for what he called “misplaced priorities.”
Referencing the impeachment of Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua, Salasya stated his belief that rather than focusing too much of the nation’s attention on subjects that will not improve the lot of the average mwananchi, Kenya is currently dealing with other pressing problems that demand attention.
During his speech, Salasya urged President William Ruto to focus more of his efforts on providing services rather than pursuing political stunts that would have little bearing on the country’s progress.
‘’Based on the political situation in the country, we have reached a point where we must ask question ourselves where we are headed. I want to ask the President, the way you were rushing the MPs on Gachagua impeachment as if that was the work that you were elected to do,’’ Salasya stated.He added that the President should call his MPs to order and put them to task on why they had not applied the same energy to pass bills that would be beneficial to citizens.
‘’Ask those MPs how many bills they have since passed in Parliament that would likely be able to uplift the lives of the common mwananchi. All you want to do is pass bills that are only of interest to you and not the citizens,’’The lawmaker also put the government on the spot for rushing to implement projects without adequate public participation, thereby disrupting key services.
He added that since the shift to the new health insurance scheme, critical health services have been disrupted affecting Kenyans in a negative way.
