Opposition coalition NASA Deputy presidential candidate Kalonzo Musyoka has dismissed President Uhuru Kenyatta's claims that he has done nothing for Ukambani region in matters development for the past three decades.
In a statement sent to newsrooms, the Wiper Party leader noted that he has never been a president to have a lot of influence in development projects in the region.
He further took a swipe on President Kenyatta, accusing him of doing little to improve the living standards of the people of Gatundu, his home turf.
“Ironically, Gatundu is like most parts of Ukambani and other rural areas of Kenya in general. Abject poverty, characterized by debilitating jigger menace, as well as alcoholism and drug abuse, pervade the area that so far prides itself in having produced two Presidents of this country his father Jomo Kenyatta, and Uhuru himself,” he stated.
The Head of State had made the remarks during his tour of Ukambani region.
