Kiambu Maendeleo Ya Wanawake Organisation chairperson Margret Wambui Kaba has appealed to politicians in the county to stop wrangling and focus on serving the people.
Speaking when she disbursed development loans to women in Limuru town on Sunday, Ms Kaba said political wrangles among some leaders in the county were hurting development.
She said that political leader’s should learn to embrace divergent views and work together for common purpose.
“As women leaders we are worried and concerned over frequent wrangles and stand-offs pitting a section of our leaders here in Kiambu,” she said.
The MYWO chairperson said political tension among leaders has seen President Kenyatta abandon the county.
She said that the move by President Kenyatta to keep off Kiambu shows that its leaders are not doing anything to bring harmony among themselves.
She said that they will organise for prayers to cleanse politician disharmony among Kiambu leaders.
“We are very soon going to conduct prayers to pray for Kiambu so that our leaders can shelve their differences and work together,” she added.
The MYWO chair said that Kiambu was losing out from development projects initiated by the national government.
She noted that President Kenyatta has visited other places across the country but kept off Kiambu because of petty politics.
“We are hurt not only as women but as residents that our President has kept off Kiambu because of the wrangles perpetuated by some of our leaders,” she indicated.
President Kenyatta during a two day governor’s summit at the Sagana State Lodge in Nyeri two weeks ago said that he was keeping of Central Kenya because of petty politics.
The President said that he is often hurt and embarrassed when leaders fight and exchange bitter words in front of him.
Several leaders including Kiambu Senator Kimani Wamatangi have since called on Central leaders to shun wrangles and allow President Kenyatta visit the region for development purposes.
