Nakuru County gubernatorial aspirant Lee Kinyanjui has said incumbent Governor Kinuthia Mbugua has done too little since he ascended to power.
Kinyanjui said the county had been allocated more that Sh40 billion in the past four years, but Mbugua’s administration has not utilised the funds well.
The aspirant accused the Jubilee governor of engaging in looting of public funds.
"Sh44 billion has been released by the (National) Treasury but Wanjiku on the ground has nothing to celebrate because the county government cannot account for it," said Kinyanjui.
The governor, however, dismissed the allegations. He referred to the remarks as “those of a loser”
Governor Mbugua accused the former NTSA boss of peddling false information to taint his image.
“My opponent is a perennial loser who has started sensing defeat and is now using all the dirty tricks to make up for his failures. But I wish to tell him it’s too late as his poor development record speaks volumes,” he said.
The governor said his administration has improved the health sector, trade, and constructed 5,000 kilometres of roads.
