Deputy President Kithure Kindiki has stated that the United Democratic Alliance (UDA) remains strong and committed to implementing revolutionary social and economic policies to better the lives of all Kenyans.
The DP said the ruling party will not waver in its determination to empower those at the bottom of the economic pyramid, as it is the bedrock of UDA’s manifesto.
“This party was founded on an ideology. That is the transformation of our economy from the bottom going up. We must not lose that identity,” he noted.
“We have made significant progress and successes in the implementation and realization of our agenda which we deliberately committed ourselves to three years ago.”
The Deputy President, who is the party’s deputy leader, spoke on Friday at the UDA headquarters in Nairobi when he presided over the presentation of nomination certificates to successful candidates during the recent party primaries.
He said UDA has not lost track of the promises it made to the people, highlighting flagship projects that have been implemented and those underway.
Some of those include the overhauling of the healthcare system through rolling out of the Social Health Authority (SHA) universal coverage, construction of affordable and social housing, education reforms, the agricultural subsidy scheme and the job creation initiatives, among others.
“When the time comes for us to account for our first term, we have a very strong report to give to the people of Kenya.
I am humbled and grateful to be part of this party.
This party has a huge future; it is beyond the current leadership.
We need to sustain it for 50, 100, 200 years of consistent policy implementation around social, economic transformation,” the DP remarked.
