President Kenyatta to visit 14 counties in a week
President Uhuru Kenyatta is to visit 14 counties in a campaign blitz over the next week, taking the simple message that he has done building the foundations for prosperity and to urge Kenyans to hand him a second term to finish the job.
The President, who flew into Mombasa on Sunday, has meet-the-people gatherings planned for Kilifi, Mombasa, Lamu, Kwale, Tana River and Taita Taveta covering the next three days.
He will then travel to Elgeyo Marakwet to attend the funeral of former cabinet minister Nicholas Biwott.
The President will then campaign in Nairobi, before heading north to the counties of Mandera, Wajir, Garissa, Marsabit, Isiolo and Samburu.
400 CAMPAIGN STOPS
The President and Deputy President have already made more than 400 campaign stops meeting residents in more than 40 counties since May 29, 2017 when they handed in their nomination papers.
The President has been outlining the work his administration over the past four-and-a-half years. He is making the case that he needs to complete the job after laying down solid foundations and that is why he needs a second-term.
In the coastal and northern Kenya counties this week, the President will speak to both development and security, highlighting the progress made in the past few years.
The Jubilee manifesto for 2017 lays out the President’s Action Plan to build on the foundation for a strong economy that will deliver more jobs, guarantee prosperity, and lower prices for goods and services for the residents of the region and across Kenya.
ACTION PLAN
On Monday, President Kenyatta will visit the counties of Lamu and Tana River to talk to the residents about his Action Plan as he rallies their support for his re-election to entrench the transformational foundation he has laid in his first term in office.
On Tuesday, President Kenyatta will be in Kwale where his administration has invested huge resources in dam and road construction, installed modern state-of-the-art medical equipment and increased electricity connections to households to accelerate economic activities.
The President will wrap up his tour of the region on Wednesday by visiting the upper coastal county of Taita Taveta.
The President will be in Nairobi on Friday, before heading to the northern counties at the weekend.
