The debate Kenyans should be having is what is going to be the margin of victory between President Ruto as our candidate na wale wengine,\u201d Mudavadi said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe want a resounding and decisive victory for President Ruto. A victory that cannot be disputed, one that speaks once, speaks loud and clear.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He was speaking Sunday in Kilgoris, Narok where he led a fundraiser for the local churches in the region during a thanksgiving service that was organized by the Principal Secretary for Tourism John Ololtuaa.<\/p>\n<p>He emphasized on the need for peace in the country ahead of the 2027 polls, saying Kenyans should keenly appreciate the economic value of peace.<\/p>\n<p>He described as disheartening the situation that is currently happening in the Middle East and other regions that are experiencing conflicts.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAs the Prime Cabinet Secretary and Cabinet Secretary for Foreign and Diaspora Affairs, I have first-hand experience from the tours I make around the world. What other countries are going through in the absence of peace is heartbreaking,\u201d Mudavadi warned.<\/p>\n<p>Mudavadi said the conflicts have resulted in significant loss of life, and widespread displacement of populations, impacting negatively on key infrastructure including airports.<\/p>\n<p>The PCS revealed that Kenya\u2019s economy continues to stabilize under President Ruto\u2019s administration saying a survey by the African Union shows 29 countries in Africa whose currency has depreciated against the world&#8217;s major currencies and those countries are now undergoing economic resurgence.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI am happy to report that Kenya is not among those 29 countries, meaning we are safe within the current economic parameters, thanks to the leadership of President Ruto and his administration,\u201d Mudavadi said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhen President Ruto took power, we had challenges within the energy sector especially the high oil prices that made the cost of living to skyrocket, affecting our manufacturing and transport sectors. But now after Kenya&#8217;s government-to-government (G-to-G) oil deal we are experiencing a steady flow of fuel at reasonably fair market prices.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Mudavadi added that agriculture has also stabilized to due favourable fertilizer prices that have helped farmers get more yields after the government subsidized production instead of subsidizing consumption.<\/p>\n<p>The Prime CS also echoed President Ruto\u2019s sentiments at the event on ensuring accountability within government and decisively dealing with cartels in the energy, health, agriculture and other sectors that support the economy of the country.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ap-article-footer-note\">Find more news and analyses on <span class=\"ap-highlight-country\">Kenya<\/span> on the <span class=\"ap-highlight-brand\">Africa Press<\/span> website<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Kenya.
