Kwale Governor Salim Mvurya and his deputy Fatuma Achani, have lashed out at Orange Democratic Movement (ODM) leaders for accusing them of corruption and poor performance.
Mvurya asked the leaders to use the right channels when it comes to addressing matters of public expenditure in the county.
“All projects are implemented after public participation. Locals are asking for more ECDEs. Those accusing us over such projects do not know their responsibilities and the geography of the county," he said, as quoted by The Star.
The governor also rubbished claims of being a land broker, and aiding officials in the Jubilee government in grabbing land.
On her part, Achani criticized Senator Boy Juma for claiming that Sh16 billion that had been allocated to the county since 2013 has not been utilised, saying he has failed the people of Kwale.
“The Senate has not questioned Mvurya about Boy's allegations that the amount is missing, or on how it has been used. That means Boy has failed Kwale people,” said Achani.
“He should have been the first person to raise the issue with the Senate for Mvurya to be grilled but that has not happened," she added.
