Kiambu Senator Kimani Wamatangi has asked Governor Ferdinand Waititu and his deputy James Nyoro to iron out their differences for the sake of development.
Speaking to journalists at Parliament Buildings on Monday, Wamatangi said that the feud between Waititu and Nyoro is likely to affect service delivery in the county.The Jubilee Senator said that there is no point of the two politicians fighting over leadership, adding that they should work together for the interest of the people.“I am appealing to Governor Waititu and Nyoro to listen to the voices of reason and stop these silly wrangles that are likely to deny Kiambu people services,” he said.The Senator said that there is no time for leaders to argue and wrangle, adding that their focus should be on service delivery.He said that the two were elected by Kiambu people to deliver services, adding that their alleged feud is a betrayal to the voters.Speaking separately at Parliament Buildings, Kikuyu MP Kimani Ichung’wa also asked the two (Waititu and Nyoro) to iron their issues in private and not in public.He said as respected leaders, the duo should sit down and address the issues causing rivalry between them.The Kikuyu lawmaker said that Kiambu will lag behind in terms of development if the two leaders do not sit down and address their issues.On Monday, Nyoro who termed his relationship with Waititu as torturers said that he has undergone humiliation for the months he has been working under Governor Waititu.The deputy governor claimed that Waititu does not consult him or the cabinet on key issues. "He (Waititu) is a one-man show and has no ear for consultation,” the deputy governor claimed.Nyoro is now contemplating moving to court over what he terms as failure by Waititu to consult on key policy issues.Waititu is yet to respond to Nyoro’s claims even as speculations are rife that the Kiambu deputy governor could opt to resign.
