President Uhuru Kenyatta used his Madaraka Day speech to outline the achievements of his administration from 2013. He gave himself a straight A based on the work he has done in several sectors, including infrastructure, health, education and water. There can be little quibbling with the President’s record and score.
There is, however, the small matter of debt. Justifying the amount of debt his administration has borrowed, the President said that as long as amounts borrowed are in the hands of a visionary administration then such money is actually a critical catalyst for development.
