“Nawashukuru wakulima wengi wa Kenya, niliwaeleza tutawapatia mbegu…sasa tumesambaza mbegu karibu magunia milioni nne katika sehemu mbali mbali. Na mimi nafurahi ya kwamba safari ya kupunguza gharama ya maisha imeanza, na safari ya kupunguza bei ya vyakula imeanza, na mtaona mambo wakati tunaendelea.”
The Head of State also criticized the opposition coalition faction Azimio la Umoja One Kenya for their antigovernment protests, implying that the demonstrations will not help reduce the cost of living.
As a result, he urged Kenyans to disregard the calls by the Raila Odinga-led team to take to the streets, instead urging them to tend to their farms as the only way to improve their lives in the long run.
“Nataka niwahakikishie serikali yenu hii itasimama na nyinyi kama wakulima wa Kenya muweze kuzalisha chakula ya kutosha. Njia ya kubadilisha Kenya na kuhakikisha ya kwamba chakula inapatikana, sio kuweka sufuria kwa kichwa na kuenda maandamano barabarani…ni kuchukua mbegu na mbolea uende uandamane kwa shamba yako uzalishe,” he said.
