Governor Alfred Mutua has lashed out at critics questioning the formation of the Maendeleo Chap Chap movement saying that they are enemies of change and development.
Speaking during the Ukambani professionals meeting at the Machakos stadium on Saturday, Mutua defended the formation of the Maendeleo Chap Chap Movement saying that its agenda is to transform development in Ukambani and other parts of the country.
The Machakos governor said that the movement is not a political outfit but a vehicle aimed at ensuring development across the country.
“I want to tell critics who have been questioning the formation of Maendeleo Chap Chap that we are not interested in petty politics but our agenda is to transform development and change,” said Mutua.
Governor Mutua added that the movement is reaching out to Kenyans across the country. “We want to urge Kenyans and leaders who are development minded to subscribe to the ideologies of the Maendeleo Chap Chap,” said Governor Mutua.
The Machakos governor intimated that time for petty politics is over and that leaders should focus on serving Kenyans.
He observed that poverty remains a serious challenge across Kenya adding that some leaders have abandoned their work and were engaging in rhetoric politics.
“It is time we as Kenyans said no to rhetoric leaders and demand for change and development,” added Mutua.
Governor Mutua also denied claims that Maendeleo Chap Chap is meant to divide Kamba people. He said that the movement is not a tribal outfit and that it accommodates the ideologies of all Kenyans.
The governor said that he will be popularizing the movement across country with the aim of attracting Kenyans to support development.
