In a unique turn of events, Gideon Moi, the national chairman of Kenya African National Union (KANU), surprised many on Friday, June 23, by expressing his support for President William Ruto’s ambitious plans to revitalize the country’s economy through the Finance Bill 2023. However, while endorsing these efforts, Moi also issued a cautionary note, pointing out potential pitfalls that could impede progress in Kenya’s development.
Acknowledging the vital role played by Parliament, the former Baringo Senator advised the government to prioritize initiatives that would bring about tangible improvements in the lives of ordinary Kenyans. He stressed the importance of addressing the pressing needs of the people and called for a focus on transformative projects that would make a real difference.
Moi specifically endorsed the Affordable Housing Programme and other related initiatives aimed at meeting the housing demands of Kenyans. He emphasized the need for swift action in establishing a robust legal, policy, and administrative framework to govern the management and administration of the National Housing Development Fund. Such measures, according to Moi, would ensure that the fund is dedicated solely to its primary objective: constructing affordable houses for the people of Kenya.
By supporting President Ruto’s economic agenda while simultaneously highlighting the necessity for careful implementation and safeguards, Gideon Moi demonstrated a nuanced and unique perspective. His endorsement of initiatives that prioritize the welfare of ordinary citizens and his call for effective governance mechanisms indicate a commitment to fostering inclusive development in Kenya.
