A renowned activist has expressed his disappointment at the manner in which a section of Nakuru leaders are dealing with issues affecting the common mwananchi saying their uncommitted leadership was the biggest problem in the county.
According to Boniface Mwangi, the rate at which corruption related cases are being reported in Nakuru County was a clear indication that there was more than meets the eye.
Speaking in Nakuru town on Thursday morning after he led parents and the local community in demolishing a perimeter wall at Naki Primary School on a piece of land allegedly grabbed by a private developer, Mwangi accused a section of leaders within the ranks in Nakuru of being insensitive of real issues affecting their electorates.
Mwangi wondered how a private developer could grab, demarcate and even start constructing on a piece of land owned by a school as if nobody cared.
"The era of neo-colonialism in this country elapsed long time ago, we will not sit back and watch what is meant to serve the common mwananchi be taken by enemies of development," he said.
"We cannot continue relying on leaders who are out to fulfill their personal interests while we continue to languish in abject poverty. I am a believer of justice and the rule of law and will never rest till we achieve an all inclusive society where the gap between the rich and poor will be not be that huge," he added.
Mwangi was joined by Nakuru Town East member of Parliament David Gikaria and other activists based in Nakuru including immediate former TNA chairperson Hassan Noor in demolishing the perimeter wall to assure the school of the land's possession.
