Machakos county governor Dr Alfred Mutua starting September, his government will start a program of issuing iron sheets to residents with grass-thatched houses to ensure the houses in the county are only for iron sheets.
The MCC party leader made the promise through a Twitter post on Tuesday.
"Starting next September, we are putting in place a program to provide iron sheets to families living in grass-thatched houses in the entire county," posted Mutua on his Twitter account.
He is facing a tough competition from Wiper's candidate Wavinya Ndeti said that he will also construct stalls for all hawkers and provide water to all residents in the county.
Online users have since criticized the promise saying that Governor Mutua is using Jubilee tactics and giving handouts to get votes in August 8 polls.
