RAILA REDUCES PRICE OF UNGA AND COOKING OIL

Azimio La Umoja One Kenya presidential flag-bearer Raila Odinga has promised to lower the prices of household commodities which have skyrocketed in recent days if elected president in the August polls.

Speaking on Sunday when he campaigned in Masinga, Machakos County, Mr. Odinga said under his administration, the price of flour, cooking oil, and paraffin will be brought down to “bearable” standards.

“Flour prices will go down, even cooking oil and paraffin, we must bring it down. We have resolved to make the cost of living bearable to Kenyans. People have suffered enough,” he said.

The Azimio chief further reiterated that his proposed social welfare program will transform the livelihoods of low-income families across the country, citing countries on the continent and beyond where he said it has worked.

“Cases of children going without food will be unheard of again. Under the social protection program, these families will get money from the government. It has worked well in America, Europe, Brazil, India, Egypt and even Namibia,” stated Odinga.

Mr. Odinga was accompanied by Wiper Party leader Kalonzo Musyoka and other regional leaders to a service at the Masinga Catholic Church, where they addressed congregants afterwards.

The former Prime Minister is in the President Uhuru Kenyatta August 9 succession race with UDA party leader and Deputy President William Ruto, Roots Party’s George Wajackoyah and David Mwaure of the Agano Party.
