Speaking at a funeral in his constituency, Mr Makau said the narrative is a mockery to Kenyan youth who have degrees and diplomas.

“What are you telling majority of Kenyan jobless youths who graduated from universities and colleges when you are going round dishing out wheelbarrows yet you have no solutions for them?” he posed.

According to him, the DP’s project is a slap on the face of graduates as well as their parents.

He further chastised Dr. Ruto accusing him of failing to use his office to deliver development projects since 2013 when Jubilee ascended to power only to introduce a vain narrative two years to the end of his term.

Similarly the MP took issue with the Deputy President for seeking power through chest thumping.

He said any leadership comes from God and not through agitation and insults.

“Be humble and stop ridiculing and insulting other leaders just to show how combative you are because this will reduce you to irrelevance even before the eyes of God,” he said.

On the Building Bridges Initiative (BBI), the legislator said its major intention is to bring Kenyans together as well as ensure that elections are conducted without bloodshed.

He dismissed claims by a section of politicians that the BBI will only create more positions for the benefit of certain individuals.
