Kenya: President Kenyatta Accuses Raila of Copying His Plan On Free Education

[Miss Zomboko]

President Kenyatta has chided the Opposition, accusing it of copying his plan to implement free secondary education next year, and then pledging to do it a few months earlier.

The President and his deputy William Ruto also pitched for a peaceful election as they dismissed their opposition rival Raila Odinga as a copycat who cannot originate any agenda for the country.

"You have to think. Then you have to plan. You cannot just copy, and then pledge to do it earlier," President Kenyatta said on a campaign stop in Gilgil, as he wrapped up a three-day campaign blitz through Nyandarua, Laikipia and Nakuru counties.

The President unveiled key planks of his re-election bid that included free secondary education, scaling up the cash transfer programme for the elderly, increase and expansion of technical training institutes and health cover for mothers after maternity as the next steps in his transformation agenda.

"Politicians should not just wake up in the morning and tell Kenyans that they will do this and that and within a given period after they win elections without thinking or planning on how to go about such issues," he said.

He went on: "We've set aside Sh5 billion to expand infrastructure in schools to provide for the implementation of free secondary education. One cannot claim he can provide free education overnight without budgeting for it."

Objectively speaking, Raila is a populist who will say anything he thinks will bring him votes.
Jubilee said the free education will start in January, 2 days later Raila says he will start it in September, just a few weeks after the swearing in assuming no supreme court case. That is logistically impossible.

The same way he is telling his supporters that he will bring down rent within 90 days.
