Addressing thousands of jubilant wananchi who lined-up the road to give him a tumultuous welcome Monday at the start of his one-week working visit in Coast Province, President Kibaki, who was accompanied by First Lady Mrs. Lucy Kibaki, reaffirmed his personal dedication to improve the lives of all Kenyans.
The President once again pointed out that the Government was implementing development projects in the country in order to improve the country and not because of elections.
"We are implementing the Free Primary Education Programme, public health facilities are stocked with medicine and starting January next year the Government will waive tuition fees in all public secondary schools," President Kibaki said.
Speaking amid "Kibaki tena-Kibaki tena" shouts from wananchi in support for his bid for a second term, President Kibaki urged Kenyans to maintain peace even as the country gears towards the general elections later in the year.

The President stressed the need to consolidate the development gains the country has achieved and discouraged wananchi from engaging in politics of hatred and enmity.
He advised wananchi to vote wisely in the coming elections, saying Kenyans know the politicians who have been politicking at the expense of assisting the electorate in the last four and a half years.
President Kibaki and the First Lady made stopovers at Changamwe and Majengo Sega from where they walked on foot for 6 kilometers to receive greetings from thousands of wananchi who lined-up the road.
Earlier when the President and the First Lady arrived at the Moi International Airport this afternoon, they were warmly received by Coast Province leaders led by Ministers Chirau Ali Mwakwere, Morris Dzoro and Suleiman Shakombo.
