Government Spokesperson Isaac Mwaura, Narok Governor Patrick Ntutu, Narok North Member of Parliament Agnes Pareiyo, East Africa Legislative Assembly (EALA) Godfrey Mwangi, and former MP Kimani Ngunjiri defended President William Ruto’s foreign trips, saying they have brought economic benefits to the country.
Mwaura said the president’s trips have been necessary to negotiate debts taken by the previous administration and to attract foreign investment.
“The best father is the one that moves around to look for food for his children, that is why our president is moving around to look for more money to develop the nation,” Mwaura said.
Governor Ntutu reiterated his commitment to implementing key development projects in the county, saying he has set aside Sh. 100 million to develop each of the 30 wards in Narok.
“We as the Kenya Kwanza governors are determined to deliver services to the people as directed by our president,” Ntutu said. “We promise our president that we will not let him down at the grassroots.”
Ms. Pareiyo thanked President Ruto for prioritizing the Maasai people in development, saying a recent visit to the statehouse saw the president commit to tarmac many roads in the area and extend electricity coverage.
Ms. Pareiyo, who was elected on a Jubilee ticket, said she has shifted her allegiance to President Ruto so that her people can benefit from mega development projects.
The leaders were at the Melili area in Narok county to attend the graduation ceremony of Ms. Naserian Sankok, daughter of EALA MP David Sankok, who was graduating with a degree in Engineering.
