Government spokesman Isaac Mwaura is cautioning leaders to stop politicising the abductions situation in the country.
Mwaura says those in government especially in Cabinet who have concerns over abductions should speak directly to the president about it.
“Those leaders who have access to the President should talk to him directly about this issue instead of using it for political capital,” Mwaura said.
He said the government was one and should speak in one voice instead of some leaders politicking with the issue of abductions to allegedly settle political scores and cause divisions.
Mwaura who was speaking at Illula Integrated School in Eldoret said the government was committed to stop abductions in the country and bring those responsible to book.
“That is why we have asked those with complaints or information that can help to work with the DCI and IPOA so that we know the truth and stop blame games”, said Mwaura.
He said President Willliam Ruto had directed the police to stop the abductions and safeguard the lives of Kenyans.
Mwaura at the same time said President Ruto was on course to deliver on all his pledges to Kenyans.
“There are those who thought President Ruto would fail but he has done a lot within the last two years to put the country on the growth trajectory," Mwaura said.
He said when Ruto took over the country was in heavy debt but the government had repaid the debts and ensured there was no defaulting.
“As a result, our shilling which was weak and lost value up to about Sh165 to a dollar has now strengthened to about Sh129 per dollar currently,” Mwaura said.
He said over 75,000 teachers had been employed in two years and the government had also constructed over 14,000 new classrooms in the country.
“All this has happened for the first time in our country under President Ruto," he said.
Mwaura further noted that over 243,000 Kenyans had been able to secure jobs abroad within the last two years with government support.
Mwaura said President Ruto was keen to ensure Persons with Disabilities (PWDs) are supported to exploit their full potential like other Kenyans.
He pledged that the government would look into ways of expanding the Illula Integrated schools which cater for children with disabilities.
Mwaura was with Ainabkoi MP Samwel Chepkonga and former PS Esther Koimet among others.
