A section of Legislators drawn from the Presidents Backyard have decried negative economic impact due to the ongoing Azimio la Umoja led demonstrations in Nairobi.
Led by the Uasin Gishu leader of Majority Julius Sang who is also the Megun ward Representative, the leaders who castigated the demonstrations also implored upon the leader of opposition Raila Odinga, to halt the slated demonstrations saying most of the traders in Eldoret had a lot of difficulties sourcing their trade wares from the Capital.
“ We regret the ongoing anti-government demonstrations led by the opposition leader, while Eldoret remains peaceful devoid of such demonstrations , Traders in Eldoret cited difficulties in accessing most of their goods from the capital Nairobi,We call upon the opposition to stop the planed anti-government protests in order to give room for the government to hold a candid conversation that would bring about peace in the Country, and this should not be translated to mean that holding a dialogue will lead to opposition getting a share of the Government- that is a big No” Said Hon Sang.
Hon. Sang who was flanked by other Members of County Assembly also urged Kenyans to accord President William Ruto’s administration to stop the demonstrations which concomitantly are slowing down the growth and development of the Country.
Nominated MCA Sarah Abdi noted that President William Ruto inherited a dilapidated economy and that he needed time to address the high cost of living.
Echoing similar sentiments, Moses Kebenei MCA Simat-Kapseret ward, warned of the threat the demonstrations posed to the country if not controlled.
“So far there have been no peaceful demonstrations, if it could be so then the traders all over the country would have not feared to carry on with their own businesses. The demonstrations clearly are becoming a threat to the country’s economic recovery.” Noted Hon. Kebenei.
Hon Gilbert Langat representing Kiplombe ward held that there was no better way to deal with the plummeting prices of primary commodities other than encouraging Kenyans and especially farmers to double up their efforts to enhance food production.
