Nakuru Governor Lee Kinyanjui has come out to defend his administration’s development track record in Nakuru after being attacked by three legislators.
Nakuru Senator Susan Kihika, Bahati MP Kimani Ngunjiri and his Nakuru Town East counterpart David Gikaria had on Sunday questioned what the governor had done for the people of Nakuru.
The three legislators claimed that Governor Kinyanjui was using national government projects instead of initiating his own projects.
Kinyanjui on Monday denied the claims saying he has managed to deliver most of the promises he made to Nakuru residents since he took office in 2017.
The Governor told the legislators to work together instead of politicizing issues for the benefit of the residents before the 2022 general elections.
Speaking to Nation media, Kinyanjui said those who want to challenge his administration and the work he has done for the people should wait until 2022.
“The outburst by a section of leaders from Nakuru County is regrettable and unfortunate. I urge the MPs to stop politicising issues and concentrate on the development agenda. My administration is focused whereas some of my myopic critics have their eyes trained on 2022 general election.”
“In 2017, I made promises to the people of Nakuru and that is what l am busy delivering on. I am not interested in sideshows and political machinations. Those who want to challenge me, let them face me in 2022. I am not afraid of them,” said Kinyanjui.
The governor added that he will continue working with the national government and other partners to bring development projects and address challenges facing Nakuru residents.
