Speaking in Kisii during voter mobilisation yesterday, Mudavadi called on Kenyans to stand against the current Government's borrowing trends. "There is a big gap in the budget and poor Kenyans should not be subjected to pay for such mistakes. This is a creation of the Jubilee government to swindle money from poor Kenyans," he said. Mudavadi asked Kenyans to brace for hard times in footing the Sh900 billion deficit.
