Nyeri Governor Mutahi Kahiga has cleared the air on his health condition. This is after reports emerged stating that he was ailing and receiving treat in the United States.
According to Kahiga, he is in good health.
“They are even saying that I am sick! Looking at me. Surely, do I look sick?" Kahiga asked.
He was speaking on Thursday at the Nyeri law courts during the unveiling of the Court Users Committee, where he was the chief guest.
“They said I was in the US because I was getting operated on and a thousand other things. Anyway, that is a price we have to pay for freedom,” he said.
The county boss called on residents to stop spreading rumours and focus on development.
“Nyeri has had the longest transition period. We are holding the record for the county that has had the [most] number of governors. While others are at the second governor, we are at a fourth one,” he said.
Nyeri's first governor, Nderitu Gachagua, died in office last year from cancer.
