Nakuru County Governor Kinuthia Mbugua will vie for a second term to complete the projects he has initiated.
He hinted on the prospect of running for a second term in his Madaraka day speech at Afraha stadium in Nakuru where he pointed out that he needed more time to complete his projects.
“By the end of my first term, I will have delivered 2750 projects. And since you promised me two terms, by the 10th year my Government will have implemented over 5000 projects,” read part of his speech.
Three weeks ago Nacada chairman John Mututho announced his bid to challenge him for the topmost post in the oncoming elections.
In launching his bid, the former Naivasha Member of Parliament had criticised the governor claiming he was doing nothing to improve the welfare of the people.
As a rejoinder, Kinuthia claimed that the county was doing an incredible job even if they did not “Hit the headlines” in the newspapers.
“My government does not place noisemaking above the welfare of our people; we are busy working for you. Even if at times we do not make it to the headlines, be assured that we are concentrating on serving you,” he said.
He added, “It is up to our people to judge the progress that we have made as a county as the leaders.”
