Murang'a county governor Mwangi Wa Iria has said that President Uhuru Kenyatta should not be blamed over the high cost of food.
According to Iria, governors should take responsibility for the high prices that have led to a sharp rise in the cost of living.
While speaking on Saturday in Murang'a, the county boss pointed a figure at the opposition for blaming president Uhuru Kenyatta yet agriculture was a devolved unit.
“It is not the responsibility of the President to reduce unga prices. It is upon the governors to ensure that their people are food secure,” he said while speaking during the issuance of Jubilee Party certificates.
He said the president should not be blamed for all the problems facing the country.
“Instead of pointing an accusing finger at the President they should point the same finger in their direction. He cannot take responsibility for all the problems while we have devolved units,” he said.
