A section of leaders from Kwale County have launched a scathing attack on Governor Salim Mvurya.
Led by Kilifi ODM chairperson Hassan Mwanyoha, the leaders urged residents in the county to register in large numbers in a bid to vote out Mvurya and the Jubilee administration in the August polls.
Addressing residents at Jogoo grounds on Sunday, Mwanyoha said Mvurya had failed the residents thus does not deserve a second term in office.
The Matuga MP asked the governor to account for money allocated to the county in the past four years.
“We want Mvurya to show us what he has done with the money, not just the few nursery schools (that have been opened)," said Mwanyoha, as quoted by The Star.
On his part, Tiwi MCA Omar Mwakwambirizwa said Mvurya should not take credit for the county's Sh400 million bursary fund, saying it was the county assembly that came up with the law.
Nicholas Zani, the county's ODM Party chairperson who has also declared interest in the governor's seat, accused Mvurya of stealing money allocated to the county.
“Kwale has received Sh7 billion which means every ward should get at least Sh300 million. But we have not seen the funds,” said Zani, as quoted by the daily.
Mvurya's communications director Kauli Mwembe however, rubbished the claims terming them as "cheap politics".
“Only the blind will not see what he has done. It is cheap politics to only look at nursery schools. We have built boreholes... development in our health sector is also visible. And who said Kwale children do not deserve ECDCs?” he posed.
