The government will lease most
critical assets necessary for faster and
efficient service.
President Kenyatta Thursday that
apart from leasing of government
vehicles, many other essential assets
will be acquired through leasing,
starting with medical equipment.
Mr Kenyatta was speaking at Uhuru
Park, Nairobi, during the launch of
1,200 vehicles that the government
leased for use by police. The Sh3
billion tender was won by Toyota
Kenya.
“It is the first time ever for any
administration to acquire, all at one
go, over one thousand motor vehicles
for a single department in
government,” he said.
The President regretted that
corruption was rife in the President’s
Office and the police service, and
warned that stern action would be
taken against those found to be
corrupt.
“For those who are not ready to
change, we shall not plead with you
any more,” the President said.
In addition, the President said the
government was committed to
transforming Kenya to a middle
income country in line with the Vision
2030 blueprint.
“We are taking a number of
measures, like the single port
community window, and reforming
company laws, all meant to reduce the
cost of doing business,” he said.
The President added that the
government was striving to improve
security. Police would be reformed
and modernised it efficient, well-
equipped, competent, and motivated,
he said.
