Shoddy projects which have tainted Governor Mutua's image in Machakos
Machakos Governor Alfred Mutua has many things on his name within the county.
Mutua has been praised and criticized in equal measures by locals for several projects he has launched in Machakos.
Many people praise him for fixing several problems his electorates experience, while he is equally criticized by others for hurriedly and shoddily implementing the projects.
Mutua is so far among the top governors in the country in regards to implementing development projects in their respective counties.
However, independent investigations by this writer on the governor's projects reveal they are shoddy.
Many people have criticized him for standing out and publicizing his work, yet most are shoddy.
Here are some 10 projects launched by Governor Alfred Mutua that many people can’t stop talking about:
1. The Machakos-Kitui bridge
This bridge is narrow hence only allows for one vehicle's passage at a time yet it is on a main road. The bridge has developed cracks in less than a year since it was done.
2. Painting roads claiming to have tarmacked them.
3. Donation of adult sandals to pupils in primary schools across the county.
4. Built a dam meant to be a picnic site yet it has no water even during the ongoing heavy rains
5. Free mabati roofing for grass-thatched houses
Many people criticized his iron sheets for being in form of posters as they had writings promoting him.
