Dr Peter Mbae, the Kabazi MCA in Nakuru County is one of the most learned politicians in the county.
The vocal MCA has a PhD in Peace and Reconciliation besides having a masters in Mass Communication.
In an exclusive interview, Mbae who served in the Nakuru County Public Service Board before switching to politics says he contested the MCA seat contrary to the views of many.
He says the society thought he would go for a higher seat such as MP or even Senator but according to him passion to transform the society led him to become an an MCA.
He adds that the MCA seat is paramount when it comes to devolution.
“It is a very important position if you really want to transform the society and I had the passion on the same. People were asking me during my graduation that with your PhD you went for MCA? No..no… no we are getting it wrong.. these are the people who brought us up and I have had a desire to transform the village,” he said.
Upon his assumption into office as MCA, Mbae through collaboration with heads of departments and other local administrators in the area, came up with Kabazi Ward Development Framework for the next five years.
The framework is one of its kind in Nakuru county and across the country as no ther MCA has ever come up with such. It incorporates the needs of the people of Kabazi after several public participation meetings.
According to the MCA, the framework focuses on five key agenda which include water, infrastructure, Health, Education and Empowerment.
“It’s high time we include professionalism into our politics. Through consultation with other stakeholders and the people of Kabazi, we came up with the Kabazi Ward Development Framework that will help us address the needs of the people of Kabazi,” he said.
The MCA is optimistic that by December 2020, the framework will be seen through various achieved projects with annual report every 8th August on the achievements made.
