Murang'a County Commissioner Joshua Nkanatha has warned politicians, among other individuals, against inciting residents to oppose government-led development projects and programmes, terming the behaviour as reckless and aimed at derailing progress.
Speaking during Madaraka Day celebrations at Ihura Grounds, Nkanatha, who also serves as the acting Central Region Commissioner, expressed concern over the growing trend of political leaders traversing parts of the Mt.
Kenya region and allegedly misleading locals about State programmes such as the Social Health Authority (SHA). "We will not allow politicians traversing this region to incite Kenyans and make them rebel against government development programmes meant to improve their lives. "These initiatives like SHA are for the benefit of all Kenyans, and no one is allowed to deceive residents with the aim of gaining political mileage," he remarked.
Nkanatha noted projects like affordable housing, among others, are benefiting many people, especially in the creation of employment opportunities.
