Hapa nikama kuna ka ukweli kiasi; lakini shida si CS. Wachilia breaks; sema yoote ikutoke Bwana Muutha," Wamuchomba's remark, implied that the issue transcends individual leadership and called for greater candor in tackling Kenya's economic difficulties. Her remarks followed Kuria's candid admission of severe financial difficulties.
He emphasized problems such as the demise of special economic zones, the collapse of industrial parks, and the fall in manufacturing, which currently accounts for just 6% of Kenya's GDP.
Additionally, he pointed out that exports as a percentage of GDP had significantly decreased, falling from the highest level in 20 years, and that foreign direct investments had dropped sharply.
"Wacha niongee initoke," Kuria said in irritation, indicating his readiness to be candid about the nation's economic situation. He ascribed some of these difficulties to issues with the Trade and Investment Ministry's leadership.
He expressed optimism in the recent appointment of former Nakuru Governor Lee Kinyanjui, who is anticipated to bring about change following the leadership of Rebecca Miano and Salim Mvurya, but he remained optimistic.
