In the countdown to 2013 general election, the flag bearers of the Jubilee alliance Hon Uhuru Kenyatta and his running mate William Ruto made a raft of pledges that were designed to reactivate economic growth and improve the living standards of the Kenyan people. If elected into office, the duo promised to walk the talk in ensuring the pledges were implemented to the letter and spirit.
So far, a number of pledges have been rolled out and they include free maternal health care, setting up of One-Shop-Huduma Centers, resettlement of internally displaced persons [IDPS], allocation of land and issuance of the thousands of title deeds to poor landless Kenyans, the launch of one-million-acres irrigation project and the construction of Standard Gauge Railway [SGR].
