NACADA chairman John Mututho has lashed out on leaders in Naivasha interfering with the Standard Gauge Railway project that is set to begin its second phase which will extend it to Naivasha.
He criticized leaders who wanted to cut deals with the company saying locals should be the first to benefit from it.
"We all know 70 percent of all business and job opportunities should go to all the locals in the county and this is what we want to see done in this project,” he said.
Mututho was speaking on Tuesday during an SGR community meeting at the firm’s site in Mai Mahiu Naivasha where he called for the distribution of all the opportunities to the tens of communities living in the area.
He said the law was clear on job distribution and urged the contractor to be mindful of it.
The former Naivasha Legislature also compelled the now MP John kihagi to explain how he spent Sh 118M left at the CDF before purporting to represent the community in the standard gauge railway project.
