Kilifi governor Amason Kingi has told off President Uhuru Kenyatta on devolution funds allocated to his county for the past four years.
Speaking on Wednesday at Ngerenya trading centre, the opposition governor asked President Kenyatta to instead tell Kenyans what he has spent on the trillions of shillings collected from Kenyans during the Jubilee adminstration's tenure.
Kingi further defended his adminstration, saying he has delivered on key pledges he made to Kilifi residents in the run up to the 2013 general elections.
“I have today inspected more than 10 projects in this Ward (Tezo) and many more projects we initiated since coming to power in 2013. We have implemented many projects in all the 35 wards in the county and that is what the Sh9 billion has done for us as Kilifi people,” he stated.
“Before Jubilee supporters lament over county projects, they should first tell us what the trillions of money held at the treasury has done to improve on the lives of our people,” he added.
He also accused President Kenyatta of doing so little to improve the standards of Kilifi people.
