Tuesday, June 20, 2023 –Businessman and Safina Party leader Jimi Wanjigi has advised President William Ruto to stop repaying loans found to have been irregularly borrowed by any past regime.
Addressing the issue on Citizen Tv on Tuesday June 20 night with Yvonne Okwara Matole, Wanjigi argued that the president can refuse to act on questionable loans by not signing ownership or responsibility on them.
This, he noted, will help ease pressure on the country therefore making it easier for the governmnet to focus on other urgent matters affecting the country rather than inherited debts.
“President William Ruto has the greatest opportunity to change the destiny of this nation be refusing to pay what has been taken unlawfully as debt. My advice to him today is, do not sign the warrants that go to debt that has been unconstitutionally taken otherwise you (Ruto) will become the owner,” he stated.
The billionaire also seized the opportunity to hit out at the regime for importing oil which can easily be manufactured locally.
He was responding to a concern from Yvonne Okwara who had sought to understand the rationality in oil importation as recently announced by the Ministry of Trade under Cs Moses Kuria.
“Government has no business importing cooking oil. There are manufacturers here. It has no business building your housing, that one let the free market do it,” Wanjigi added.
He concluded his remarks by urging every Kenyan to remain awake during this final phase of liberation of this country.
