Water and Irrigation Cabinet Secretary Eugene Wamalwa has told governors to stop politicizing issues pertaining to water.
Speaking on Wednesday in Tana River, the CS asked the county chiefs to focus on service delivery to the locals.
“Governors should keep off boards inaugurated by the national government simply because they have their own boards at the counties,” said Mr Wamalwa.
The CS had accompanied President Uhuru Kenyatta to Tana River County.
Uhuru said the Government would expand the irrigation project by 250,000 acres to benefit the surrounding pastoral communities as well as another 100,000 acres for youths so as to engage in farming activities to benefit themselves.
The Jubilee leader wondered why the Opposition leaders were criticizing the Jubilee projects and yet they have nothing to show Kenyans in terms of development when they served in senior positions in the previous governments.
“Those in the Opposition are criticizing our development projects while when they served as Prime Minister, Vice President, Ministers among other positions in previous government they did not initiate any project that Kenyans can be proud of,” said President Kenyatta.
The area MPs said they would continue to support Jubilee because it has the interest of the people of Tana River and Kenyans at heart.
“Jubilee has initiated many development projects in this County especially in the field of health, infrastructure, energy and education among other sectors,” said Galole MP Hassan Dukicha.
Tana River Governor Hussein Dado said the county was a Jubilee zone and was optimistic that out 118,000 votes in the County, the ruling party will garner more than 70 percent come August Elections.
He told Opposition leaders to stop threatening Kenyans that they would boycott the next saying Kenyans would go to the polls whether they are there or not.
