Murang'a Woman Representative Betty Maina has called upon Murang'a residents to be tolerant of leaders from the region who have taken different political positions, saying it was their right to do so.
The Member of Parliament (MP), who was speaking at Mugeka in Gaturi ward, Kiharu constituency, castigated leaders from the region who are hostile towards each other for being in different political camps saying they instead should prioritize delivering their mandates.
She called for tolerance among leaders and the public when taking sides saying those in the government and those in the opposition can serve the community in different capacities and emphasised that it was okay for different leaders from the same region to be on opposing sides saying it is common in all other regions across the country. "As a region we cannot put all our eggs in one basket, it is good to have some of our people elsewhere," she said.
She maintained that all leaders have a right to make political decisions based on their personal political plans and knowledge and called upon leaders to deliver services to the people saying the people will judge leaders based on their actions and not based on what they said or who they supported. "A political decision should be personal and what really concerns the public is development and service delivery, that is what the people will not forget." Maina said.
