Sifuna  who  attended  the Madaraka Day celebrations  at city stadium  said that as an elected   leader  he has constitution  to represent  the Wiil of the people  and not his personal  interests.

“Leaders  must not ignore  citizens  at this time of economic crisis,we must not be loyal  to the president  when every  Kenyan suffers. We should stand with people of Nairobi  to oppose  tax bills that are punitive  to our  people,” said Sifuna.

Kenyans under economic pressure

He said that instead  of piling pressure on Kenyans who are already  hit by hard economy, the government  should  prioritize subsidising basic commodities  before  high capital  investments projects  like affordable  housing  projects  are considered.

However  Sifuna  took issue with Kenya  Kwanza  MPs who he said  are appearing  to be impeding the  bottom  up spirit that was to ensure  that low income earners  are lifted  to higher economic  cadre.

“Political class  must stop  double  speaking ,you must  not be lukewarm  when you are elected  to deliver  it is time Leaders rose up and told the president  of the Kenyans concerns, it is food  not house,” he added.

He said that Kenyan Kwanza MPs must  stand for what they believe  in and not to double  speak
