Kenya needs to foster economic independence and set a benchmark for the rest of the African continent. Speaking during the burial of Mama Zipporah Kosgey in Nandi Hills Constituency, Nandi County, Prime Cabinet Secretary Musalia Mudavadi emphasized that the country can no longer depend on foreign aid.
He pointed out that because the global landscape is shifting rapidly, nations are now forced to fund their own growth through trade, innovation, investments, and internal revenue collection rather than relying on traditional donors.
As the country nears the next election cycle, Mudavadi urged citizens to focus on nation-building and aim for a peaceful, dispute-free general election in 2027 to protect national resources and avoid prolonged political friction. He encouraged unregistered but eligible voters to enroll in the upcoming registration drives to strengthen democratic governance.
Additionally, the Prime CS lauded Parliament for passing the 2026/2027 Finance Bill. He defended the legislation as a vital tool for funding public services and securing economic stability, especially at a time when global uncertainties—like supply chain bottlenecks, rising energy costs, and the Middle East conflict—are straining importing nations like Kenya.
Mudavadi concluded by expressing confidence that through prudent financial management and solid leadership, Kenya will successfully navigate these economic hurdles. During the event, the late Mrs. Zipporah Kosgey, wife of former Cabinet Minister Henry Kosgey, was highly praised for her dedicated service to her community and the church
