Raila's dream for Kenya will be achieved by Ruto - CS Murkomen

Speaking during a church service in Kisumu County on Sunday, CS Murkomen said that President Ruto held talks with Mr.Odinga on how Kenya can become a first world nation, a dream that will be effected under the Kenya Kwanza regime.

He intimated that the duo, under the broad-based government, deliberated on transforming national infrastructure to act as the foundation of reforming Kenya.

"He (Raila) had a big dream and the president has that dream. Where the former Prime Minister left us with the president in the broad-based government it is going to be delivered by a united leadership in the country," he noted.

"That is the level of conversation we needed to have. I have travelled all over the world and China, America and Europe have developed by building their strong infrastructure and that is what the president is asking of us. We need to pull together as a nation and expand our dreams."

He added that Kenya cannot keep depending on old road networks and small airports if the goal is to become an industrialised powerhouse.

"You heard the former Prime Minster say that we need to build an airport that reflects the position of Kenya as a nation. So that Kisumu airport can be expanded to become an international airport," he noted.

The Interior CS added that energy and water sectors in Kenya will need to be revamped to guarantee exponential growth.

His sentiments come after President Ruto's ambitious promise to make Kenya a first-world nation by 2055, owing to the promising development agendas under his administration.

“In the next 30 years, Kenya will move from being a third country and will become a first-world country. We have been a third world for far too long and it is now time. By the effort of our hands and the unity of the people of Kenya we want to move this nation to a first-world country by 2055,’’ said President Ruto on October 12.
