We gave him billions of shillings for you, but he has nothing to show off. Cases of governors misappropriating public funds will end," Uhuru told residents in Kilifi, accompanied by his deputy William Ruto.However in a quick rejoinder, Kingi defended himself, saying the National government allocated funds to him, and he can account for every cent. He said his government had worked tirelessly to ensure development across all the sub-counties, including investing in infrastructure, agriculture, water, among others.He asked Uhuru to stop threatening him, adding that he was ready to be taken to court over the matter.
