Machakos Governor Alfred Mutua Launches 2022 Presidential Bid
Machakos Governor Dr. Alfred Mutua on Sunday launched his 2022 presidential bid with a promise of creating wealth and job opportunities.
Mutua, who described himself as a tried and tested leader, said it is time for Kenya to usher in a new dispensation, better leadership, and life.
"We need a new way of thinking, of doing things and a new type of leaders. The Kenyan Computer has frozen. Kenya needs a reset – a reboot. We need to start afresh. We need to change the way things are done and the way leaders serve. We need something new," Mutua asserted.
"When you support me, you will be supporting someone who is tried and tested...I understand the dynamics of governance and real development."
He further pointed out that Kenyans are tired of a system that has let them down since independence and promised to “return Kenya to the railway tracks of where we were meant to be after independence.”
"Kenya is a great country and God loves us but our style of politics and the way we chose leaders has made us continue to suffer. We have become a country of a few billionaires and millions of poor, struggling, unemployed and desperate people," said Mutua.
"I am ready to press the reboot button. I am ready to give Kenya a new, fair, organized, caring, rich country of happy people."
Mutua indicated that he is the young, dynamic, innovative, but mature leader Kenya needs to move to the next level.
"A person who understands the system but is not a captive of the system. Kenyans do not want politics. Kenyans want a doer. We are tired of government plans that never get implemented," he said.
"When you support me, you will be supporting someone who is tried and tested...I understand the dynamics of governance and real development."
If elected, Mutua said unemployment will be a thing of the past, adding that he will build good roads and highways in every constituency.
"Our education will produce young and dynamic citizens who will find jobs waiting for them," he stated.
