Under my supervision, Kenya’s economy is growing by 10 percent annually – Raila

ODM leader Raila Odinga pledges to put in place solid policies that will help boost the country’s economy by more than 10 percent each year if he is elected president in the August 2022 elections.

The former prime minister claims that this is achievable based on his experience and rich understanding of promoting economic development.
