As Jubilee
Party deputy leader eyeing the 2027 presidency, former Interior CS Fred
Matiang'i pledged on August 21, 2026, to revive the Linda Mama program,
overhaul education and security, and deliver dramatic changes within two years.
His remarks, shared alongside President Ruto's transformation plan, drew mixed responses—supporters welcomed the hope for better healthcare and order, while critics demanded specifics on funding Kenya's KES4.8 trillion needs and pointed to his past record as CS.
The pledges underscore public doubts about political promises amid ongoing economic and service challenges.
