Work more and talk less, Kenyatta to leaders

President Uhuru Kenyatta has urged leaders to look out for the interest of the people instead of prioritizing their selfish goals.

The President said the constant acrimony between leaders was a sign that most of those in leadership positions have not internalized the fact that their job is to work for the people.

“Leaders should stop fighting each other because the interest of the people is superior to the interests of individual leaders,” said the President when he addressed hundreds of residents at Naro Moru, Laikipia County.

The President urged the residents to stay united and to strive for development and the common good.

He said the policy of the Jubilee Government is place development of the whole country above other issues like politics.

He said the Government has funded many initiatives that have lessened the burdens on Kenyans.

“Our objective is to make life better for Kenyans. That is why we have funded free maternity services, increased allocations to schools, expanded electrification programmes and much more,” he said.

The President said even with the good work the Government is doing there were politicians whose only contribution was to make noise and complain.

“There are those who have made it their job to make noise but making noise all the time does not help Kenyans. What Kenyans need are hardworking leaders who will improve their lives,” said the President. The President, who was accompanied by local leaders, spoke at Naro Moru on his way to Nanyuki.
