He further added that the economy is slowly growing back after the tough effects of the COVID-19 pandemic hence we cannot go back to political disruptions that will destabilize the economy.
He referenced the recent incidents where goons were hired in funerals to shun political rivals while others walked out in the middle of speeches.
“We are beginning to see signs of growth and our economy is slowly coming back. We can see from revenue collections that there are very positive signs on the horizon we could actually do better as we move forward. I want to tell you, my fellow citizens, our economy cannot afford a measure of volatility,” he said.
The CS further made a stopover in Murang’a town and addressed residents and gifted masks to pupils.
