When Suna East MP Junet Mohamed hosted President William Ruto in Suna East. [Junet Mohamed, X]Minority leader in the National Assembly, Junet Mohamed, has backed President William Ruto’s proposal to sell government shares in Safaricom and the Kenya Pipeline Company (KPC), arguing that the move is necessary to raise more than Sh300 billion to finance key development projects. The Suna East MP dismissed criticism of the proposal, citing past privatisations such as KCB, Telkom, and KenGen, and accused opponents of ignoring history. “Those opposing the sale of Safaricom and KPC should wait until they get a chance to run the government and make their own decisions,” he said. Senator Cheruiyot said the sale of shares in Safaricom and KPC would unlock funds for long-stalled infrastructure projects.
