Despite not being cleared to run for President by the Independence Electoral and Boundaries Commission, Reuben Kigame, a member of the Eagles National Alliance, launched his manifesto in Eldoret on Thursday (IEBC).
The launch comes just one day after Kigame complained that the IEBC had irregularly disqualified him from the election.
Kigame stated that his manifesto, dubbed “Jenga Mkenya,” is for Kenyan citizens, and that when Kenyan citizens are helped, it is easier for them to build the nation.
“My manifesto is for the Kenyan citizens. It is referred to as ‘Jenga Mkenya’ which is building the Kenyan in English. When building the Kenyan, you will have to ask yourself a question, which is, ‘if you want to build the Kenyan citizen, what will you give them?’ You do not start by building roads and railways, you start by providing them with food and water,” he said.
“You start by helping their sick livestock to be treated, you help the Kenyan first, and when they have gotten help, they will build the Nation,” he added.
The evangelist-turned-politician stated that his manifesto is based on three main points: dignity, values, and development, explaining that dignity allows people to respect one another and that good values will help Kenya become a God-fearing nation.
“We want to build the country on three main pillars, dignity which is being people who respect one another, values which will make us a nation that fears God, and lastly, we want to be a nation that is free of corruption. We want a manifesto that builds the Kenyan. They should know where they will sleep, what they will eat, and how their children will get educated,” said Kigame.
Kigame stated that he chose Irene Nyendo Kamau as his running mate because women have been marginalized for a long time and because she is well educated and has earned her degrees.
