Kuria: government projects will continue in Ol Kalou after UDA defeat
Key points
- Moses Kuria says government projects in Ol Kalou will not stop after UDA’s loss.
- He congratulated the by-election winner while stressing continuity of development.
- The line aims to separate state delivery from partisan punishment narratives.
Punishing voters by freezing projects is bad governance theatre. Capital FM reports that former CS Moses Kuria said government projects will continue in Ol Kalou after the UDA defeat, congratulating the winner and framing delivery as ongoing state duty.
That message tries to reclaim moral ground after a bruising mini-poll: the State serves citizens, not only party members. Sceptics will watch whether budgets actually flow or only press statements do.
Test of sincerity
Published project schedules, open procurement, and equal access for the new MP’s petitions. If funds stall while cameras leave, “continue” was spin.
Opposition winners must also deliver oversight without blocking works for revenge.
National tone
Post-election peace includes development continuity. Ruto’s unity calls and Kuria’s project pledge should match Treasury warrants.
