UDA officials in Nyanza have applauded President William Ruto's decision to nominate Cabinet Secretaries from the ODM party.
The party officials led by Homa Bay county chairperson Kennedy Obuya expressed their gratitude fro what they termed as the President's humility to listen and reshape his administration to reflect Kenya’s current political texture.
Obuya said the nomination of ODM chairman John Mbadi and Minority Leader in the National Assembly Opiyo Wandayi was a sign that the President was ready to work with Kenyans from across the nation.
The nomination of Mbadi as CS for National Treasury and Economic Planning is historic as the ministry has never been held by anyone from Luo Nyanza. Wandayi is nominee CS for Energy and Petroleum.
"Your Excellency, your nominee brings an exceptional track record in leading and managing a major political party, legislative expertise in key parliamentary committees, and an unwavering commitment to eradicating corruption as emphasised in your addresses," Obuya said.
The Homa Bay UDA chairman said they have full confidence that Mbadi and Wandayi will support the President in addressing the intricate financial challenges and advancing Kenya's development to new heights.
The officials also thanked Azimio leader Raila Odinga for his exemplary leadership and decision to work with the President for the realisation of stability of the nation.
They assured the new Cabinet nominees of their unwavering eagerness to collaborate with them in order to realise the five core pillars highlighted in the UDA manifesto, namely, agriculture, the micro, small, and medium enterprises, housing and settlement, healthcare; and the digital superhighway and creative economy.
"On behalf of the people of Homa Bay county and the entire Luo counties, we extend our utmost respect and highest regards," the officials said.
