Jubilee MPs Claim West Travel Advisory Is Economic Sabotage

Led by Kajiado West legislator Moses Ole Sakuda, the MPs said Western powers are looking for ways in which they can undermine the success of the government.

 

Sakuda said that West is sensing the failing of the ICC cases and now are improvising ways of destabilizing the economy which he said is growing tremendously.

 

Sekuda also said the government will not shy away but will continue to market its tourist’s products across the globe in a bid to counter the Western tactics.

 

Narok West MP, Patrick Ole Ntutu in addition said that the advisory was total mischief as the country depends largely on tourism and termed it as economic sabotage.

 

Ntutu said the West was not happy by the continued ties with China and the recent signing of 15 development agreements with them.

 

The legislators said terrorism is an international menace that calls for concerted efforts in fighting it.

 

The MPs also dismissed plans by the Coalition for Reforms and Democracy (Cord) to impeach President Uhuru Kenyatta over the Government decision to pay Anglo Leasing companies.

 

They supported the move to settle the debts, adding that the coalition will use its numerical strength to shut down the impeachment motion.

 

The MPs said the Government has started issuing Euro bonds for the pay out to the companies and dismissed Cord as a spent outfit that was on the verge of collapse due to lack of leadership that has been occasioned by the absence of its leader Raila Odinga.

 

Benjamin Langat, Ainamoi MP further added that it was the government’s obligation to settle the debts because if it fails to do so, the country’s credit rating will be in doubt which will lead to a snub by international lenders.

“If that was to happen, the Government would be forced to borrow from the money markets, a move that will push up the interest rates,” said Langat.

High interest rates, he added will stifle economic growth because local borrowers will be unable to access credits for investments.

The MPs further said that the President is the most famous and popular president the country has ever had and vowed to go out of their way to defend his leadership until he completes his two five years terms.
