Kwale Governor Salim Mvurya has taken a swipe at National Super Alliance (NASA) top brass referring to them as a collection of schemers out to manipulate the common mwananchi for their own selfish interests.
Mvurya, who ditched the Raila Odinga- led Orange Democratic Movement (ODM) citing mistreatment, said NASA leaders are a bunch of pretenders moving across the country with the aim of hoodwinking Kenyans to rally behind them. Speaking at Mulafyeni village in Kwale County on Tuesday, Mvurya said NASA leaders are non-performers, adding that they have nothing new to offer Kenyans.He questioned the performance track record of Raila during his reign as Kibra MP, arguing that residents in the constituency have continued to face different challenges such as poor sanitation.“We all know very well what is going on in Kibera even at this point in time people are still using flying toilets and honorable Raila served as the legislator of that area for a number of years. I want to challenge you Raila to tell us what you did to combat the same?” asked Mvurya, as quoted by Baraka FM. The governor also took a jab at Wiper Party leader Kalonzo Musyoka, whom he accused of failing to solve the persistent water shortage in Ukambani.“When you look at Ukambani where honorable Kalonzo Musyaka who is the Wiper party leader and a member of the NASA team, water is still a problem even as we speak. Kalonzo what is it you did to avert the situation,” he asked?. Amani National Congress (ANC) leader Musalia Mudavadi, who has expressed interest in the nation’s top seat was not spared either.Mvurya said Mudavadi has nothing to show despite serving in different capacities in the past regimes.“The same is being experienced in Luhya land where Musalia Mdavadi has been in power since the death of his father yet there are no tangible development projects that can be linked to him. So if you have no proven track records for just the areas you come from, how do you expect us to trust you with the country's top seat,” asked Mvurya, as quoted by the daily.
