Serikali inachaguliwa ndio ilete maendeleo kwa nchi (Government is chosen to bring prosperity) …lakini kama serikali ikitaka kufanya kazi yake inawekewa vikwazo (But if the government wants to do its work and there is boundaries).
The Suna East MP said.
Hii mambo ya kuomba ruhusa kwa kila mtu lazima ikwishe (This thing of borrowing permission from everyone must come to an end). Serikali haiwezi omba ruhusa mahakama na Kanisa ati ndio waweke stima (Government must not borrow permission from court and church to put electricity)
The National Assembly Minority Leader added.
He emphasized citing an example on recent controversies such as the cancellation of the Adani Group’s deal to upgrade JKIA and KETRACO where he said the Head of the Republic has said if the Citizens have refused then the government wouldn’t push forward with them anymore for the cancellation of the projects with the Adani.

Based on new information provided by our investigative agencies and partner nations, the procuring agencies must immediately cancel these deals and initiate fresh negotiations with credible partner.
The President has said as he declared the State of Nation on November 21st.
While stating out his argument, Junet used Tanzania as an example and argued that Tanzania had proceeded with the same partnership to revamp the airports, why couldn’t Kenya do so?
