Whatever is currently happening in Nakuru is not new in devolved governance system.
Greedy MCAs have taken counties hostage elsewhere and electorates left to suffer due to delayed projects execution.
MCAs have a history of armtwisting governors by coming up with conditions to pass Bills, vet county officials among others.
Years ago, Makueni was a case study of a failed county but Governor Kivutha Kibwana stood firm.
The vicious contest emanated from the governor’s refusal to approve assembly budgetary allocations, as designed by the MCAs and which were way beyond the controller of budget ceilings.
That's exactly what is happening in Nakuru.
MCAs have vowed to paralyse county operations until an 'illegal' fund is passed.
They have declined to approve the Chief Offcers.Tunawacheki!
Just like their Makueni counterparts, they're the ones who will suffer. Majority of them never made it for a second term.
Makueni is the No 1 County in Kenya necessitated by the fact that Governor Prof Kibwana didn't give in to their greedy demands.
In Nakuru during Governor Kinuthia's tenure, the MCAs were allocated Sh25 million per year each.
We need to see what that money did to Wanjiku.
They should stick to their mandate of oversight. Let them come up with projects they need funded by county in their respective Wards and monitor/oversight on them. Hii pesa wakipewa, who will oversight them?
After 5 years, mwananchi will be evaluating the governor's tenure, they don't know an MCA!
We the electorate are very much awake to the fact that well known and over ambitious enemies of the county are dishing out cash, whose source is not known, to the sitting MCAs, under the guidance of some MCAs who lost in August elections now operating as shadow sub-county admins.
The financier knows very well the ward fund is illegal and detrimental and wants Governor Kinaynjui to place a noose on his neck by signing it into law.
Next, we are naming and shaming the MCAs and the idlers behind the County Assembly of Nakuru revault.
