Political temperatures might yet again rise in Kitutu Masaba constituency after a section of aspirants questioned the criteria used by the area MP to disburse bursaries to needy students.
Speaking on Wednesday at Rigoma area, the aspirants, led by perennial opponent Shadack Mose, accused Timothy Bosire of discriminating against some wards and illegally dismissing CDF committee members who are perceived to be from his strongholds.
They called upon the EACC to move in with speed and investigate possible fraud and financial impropriety in the constituency office.
“Kitutu Masaba has become a region where opponents are intimidated and even their children are subjected to discrimination. Rigoma, Gachuba and Gesima wards are ignored for allegedly being strongholds of opponents. He should be investigated and prosecuted for financial impropriety,” Mose said.
His counterpart, Victor Swanya, accused the lawmaker of marginalising the areas besides challenging him to invite all leaders to discuss development agendas.
“He should serve everyone without discrimination but he has proved otherwise. He doesn’t work with MCAs and that is never good news for us,” he said.
However, Mr Justus Omiti, a personal assistant to the MP, urged the aspirants to give the MP time to deliver on his mandate.
“It is quite unlawful for leaders to dictate an elected MP on what to do or what not to do. Give him humble time and prepare to face him in 2017 because he is still doing his part,” he said.
