Mutua, who spoke on Thursday, said that Wavinya Ndeti and other leaders of Wiper have colluded to make him appear a non-performer.
The Maendeleo Chap Chap Leader said that Wavinya Ndeti’s camp is behind the vandalism of different projects in the county. The county boss said that he has an impressive performance scoreboard but the leaders aligned to Wiper Leader Stephen Kalonzo Musyoka are fighting hard to ensure that he loses his seat.
"I have, more than any other leader in Kenya, engaged in water projects. I have dug and rehabilitated nearly 400 boreholes (more than have ever been done since independence). Mothers who used to ferry dirty water from rivers kilometers away are getting piped water either at water points or their homes. The work continues,” he said as quoted by Tuko.co.ke.
The country boss added: Now, political detractors have started destroying the water projects so that it is claimed my projects are not functioning and to turn the public against me."
Mutua has hinted at contesting for Presidency in 2022. Machakos Deputy Governor Bernard Kiala is also contesting for Mutua’s seat.
