Bumula MP Mwambu Mabonga has asked president Uhuru Kenyatta to address the nation over the rising cost of living.
According to the lawmaker, the recently-read national budget dies not consider the struggling Kenyans.
The 2022/2023 budget proposal was delivered on 7th of April 2022 by Treasurer cabinet secretary Ukuru Yattani, coming out earlier than the usual dates of June.
Mwambu, during a public engagement with the residents of Siboti ward in Bumula constituency said Kenyans are suffering but it doesn’t seem to ring a bell to the president to come out and address the nation over the same and give a way forward over the ailing state of the economy.
“The president has kept quiet over the recent reading of the budget yet it has raised a mixed reaction among Kenyans, he needs to come out and say something on it because we can’t continue operating like this as a country,” he said.
He went ahead to say that President Kenyatta and his alleged project, the Azimio la Umoja-One Kenya flag bearer Raila Odinga do not relate to the problems of the common Wananchi.
Mwambu went ahead to drum up support for his UDA party boss William Ruto saying that he is the real hustler and can relate to each and every problem.
The quick-witted law maker went ahead to call out the Bungoma county boss Wycliffe Wangamati over his empty promises after he failed to deliver the promise of drilling water in the wards which has resulted in water shortages in Bungoma county.
Mabonga further asked the residents to vote for the leaders who can deliver and not those who come with lies and not receipts.
He, however, asked his opponent Jack Wamboka to stop causing chaos while seeking support from the residents saying that politics should not always involve chaos and insults, and should instead let the residents decide saying that for him he knows that he will beat him hands down.
