No doubt there is pain that we are taking, but it is not in vain,\u201d Mudavadi said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHonestly, it is short-time pain for long-time gain. The previous regime gave Kenyans a false sense, resulting in long-term pain,&#8221; he added.<\/p>\n<p>Mudavadi said Ruto had taken what he termed as the \u2018whole-of-government\u2019 approach to break down the traditional silo mentality in serving the public.<\/p>\n<p>On taxation, Mudavadi affirmed that the deductions being made across are not in vain.<\/p>\n<p>According to the PCS, contributions are going to support the education sector, provide a platform for improved healthcare while allowing citizens to become homeowners and ensure NSSF has enough funds to proffer benefits to contributors in retirement.<\/p>\n<p>He insisted that the government has kept and will continue keeping its campaign pledges in order to deliver as promised.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Electoral promises are made based on information available at the time.
