Locals in Mururune Uturine are frustrated because they lack power. According to the residents, children have become ill and must now wear glasses because they study with candles.
“When we call our leaders, they do not respond. Four or five officials have arrived and claim that power cannot be installed. We looked for assistance elsewhere but couldn’t find it.
Wiring has already been installed over the last ten years, and we can cover the installation costs. The only thing that remains is for officials to arrive and install power,” said Margert.
“Since the beginning of time, we have never had electricity. We’re even wondering why we voted in the first place. We implore our leaders to provide us with electricity so that the area can develop.Posho mills and kinyozi can be established and the area will grow, said Muthukumi.
“We were in a meeting with the MCA when he informed us that we were in complete darkness. He promised to bring us power, but we have yet to receive it.
Kiraitu has been making false promises to tea farmers since he was elected. We plead with our leaders to bring electricity to the area so that it can develop,” said Eunice
