“You must implement your manifesto, but you were not truthful about it. You should have told Kenyans that when you elect us into the office, we will implement the housing program by levying 3 per cent of your salaries to finance it. That you didn’t tell Kenyans,” Mbadi said.
2/
"What Ruto told Kenyans was that Uhuru was overtaxing them & that he will make sure taxes come down. Today, taxes are going up, and you did not communicate that to Kenyans. So, the question is, are you really implementing the manifesto that you sold to Kenyans?” Mbadi posed.
