Treasury Cabinet Secretary John Mbadi has pointed out how the previous regimes shortchanged other regions on development projects.
Speaking in Bungoma during the burial service of Moses Wetang’ula’s mother, the CS aimed a shot at both Kibaki and Uhuru Kenyatta for side lining regions that were not in bed with their governments.
”We borrowed money to do roads up to some villages, but some people take minutes to reach their villages, while on an important road like the Nakuru Nairobi Highway, no one saw the need to make it a dual way,” Mbadi stated.
Mbadi further questioned the fiscal viability of constructing some transport infrastructure leading to some parts of the country while leaving out the rest that, in his eyes, could have offered better rewards.
”We borrowed money to build the SGR, which was a good idea. But that SGR did not have to terminate at Naivasha and could have instead gone all the way to Malaba as per the original plan,” he added.
In what might be viewed as throwing a jab at the previous regime under the leadership of Uhuru, the CS lashed out at the critics of the current government’s financial struggles saying the rain did not start beating Kenya today.
