"I have a dream" - Kalonzo Musyoka

" I have a dream that over 1,000 dams will soon be constructed especially in Ukambani region among other areas if we unite and forge a common development agenda for the people,''

Kalonzo said the government will make use of the military, National Youth Service and even the prisoners in the construction of such dams.

Mr. Musyoka said there was need for leaders to stop dwelling much on political matters and instead advised them to engage on activities aimed at improving the country's economy.

"There is no need to talk about Hague and special tribunal issues all the time while Kenyans are being hard hit by hunger while others are still displaced from their homes following the post election violence. These are some of the issues which need our urgent attention instead of mere politicking," said Mr. Musyoka.

He said the Government was committed to the healing and reconciliation as the only way to fighting negative ethnicity in the country.

Mr. Musyoka asked District Commissioners to be transparent while handling public resources including the ones set aside for Kazi Kwa Vijana initiative, noting that it was through such projects that the youth could uplift their living standards.
