The MP warned President Uhuru that development would not earn him recognition as a leader and that his good legacy was in jeopardy of being ruined.

He later called upon the President to prioritize on respecting the rule of law first, before focusing on his big four plan that mainly concerned development.

“I want to tell Uhuru as my good friend that building roads, bringing electricity to the people or connecting water to everyone will not earn him a name,” Kutuny concluded.
