The president was speaking in Kisumu Shipyard on Monday alongside Burundi president Evariste Ndayishimiye where he said he was busy spearheading projects, adding that making noise will not stop his agenda.
The Head of State was referring to a section of Kenyans who raised questions after he transferred the KMC to the Ministry of Defence, from the Ministry of Agriculture, through an Executive Order, about eight months ago.
“Mtapiga kelele tukifanya kazi.. Previous regimes undertook to revamp KMC but wasted resources. Kenya Defence Forces are Kenyans, let's stop the politics when we engage them in projects,” Uhuru said.
After the speech, Uhuru launched the Kenya Shipyards Limited, which laid the foundation for MV Uhuru 2.
This became the first ship to be built in Kisumu after 70 years in conjunction with the Kenya navy.
The shipyard was rehabilitated by Kenya Defence Forces, as a part of the Lake Transport revival plan as Kenya aims to reposition its military to be a catalyst for industrialization.
