In a statement via his X account, on Thursday, November 21, 2024, Amisi told Ruto that Kenyans have welcomed his decision to cancel the highly debated Jomo Kenyatta International Airport (JKIA) and Kenya Energy Transmitted Company (KETRACO) deal with Adani.

“Dear Mr. President, you can see how Kenyans have put a sigh of relief. That is how simple it is to govern. Listening to Kenyans,” he wrote.

The vocal parliamentarian went ahead to ask the Head of State to relook at the increased contribution of the National Social Security Fund (NSSF) by Kenyans and also transparency at the Social Health Insurance Fund (SHIF), improve the health sector and pay doctors.

Apart from NSSF and SHIF, he requested Ruto to cancel the housing levy tax which is burdening salaried Kenyans, in addition, Amisi asked him to salvage the education sector by nullifying the new university funding model and paying teachers and lecturers.

“Now, while at it relook at #NSSF increased contributions. #SHIF transparency #HousingLevy cancel it. Cancel the new university funding model reign into the education sector, it is collapsing cavitation or whatever. Pay attention to lecturers, teachers, and doctors,” he requested.

“Don’t promise what can not be done. Just say the government has no money, and Kenya will understand. Avoid unnecessary trips, your movement within and out of the country is costly to taxpayers,” Amisi said.
