Meru County MP Hon. Bishop Kawira Mwangaza has said that billions of Shillings are allocated to development projects in Meru County and Meru Governor Kiraitu Murungi’s officials collect the returns.
According to Kawira, once development projects are completed, contractors receive their share while Kiraitu officials keep the rest.
“All Kiraitu Murungi’s employees own firms that are awarded Meru County government tenders. To collect returns, he appoints crooks as directors. Kiraitu officials have been in office for less than five years and have already purchased homes worth millions of shillings,” said Kawira.
Kiraitu’s officials, according to Kawira, have suddenly gained weight and their faces are gleaming as a result of their lavish lifestyle.
“I’m curious where these people get all of their money to maintain a wealthy lifestyle that Kawira cannot afford. I urge Meru County residents to join me in prayer, and when I become governor, the next time I visit schools in Meru County, I will dress all children in school uniforms. I’d like us to send Kiraitu home very early in the morning on August 9, 2022,” said Kawira.
Kawira said that Kiraitu dubbed himself a crocodile in the water while she was busy looking for school uniforms to donate to pupils.
“On August 9, 2022, Kiraitu will not believe how she will pull him out of the water he claims to be in. He should get out of the water he claims to be in and go to the schools in Meru County to see how the children are dealing with issues such as a lack of proper school uniforms and food. He can’t stay in the water for five years,” said Kawira.
She said that she was confident that Meru County residents would vote unanimously in her favor.
According to Kawira, Meru residents should void his re-election and change the leadership of Meru County. She said Meru County would resemble Canaan under her leadership.
“Parents will never have to worry about not being able to pay school fees again because if I am capable of educating students with the limited budget allotted to my office, I will educate all students with the billions Kiraitu’s government receives. Kiraitu has hidden public funds in his home and intends to bribe people with them,” said Kawira.
Kawira said that In the first, second, third, and fourth years of Kiraitu’s term, residents never saw him get to work.
“All elected leaders left all of the work to Kawira Mwangaza, who has no money. An MCA is given more money than my office, but I am able to visit the entire Meru County. I urge the people of Meru County to help me expand my office by electing me as governor,” she said.
She said on the other hand, she assisted residents of Meru County who lacked school uniforms, shoes, food, medicines, and good road networks.
“Kawira does all of the work on her own with limited resources allocated to her office, and we agreed with Meru residents that we needed to change Meru County’s leadership. Residents approached me and asked me to run for Governor, claiming that they had suffered enough at the hands of Kiraitu,” said Kawira.
Kawira said insisted that on the morning of August 9, 2022, she would send Kiraitu Murungi home because she had the support of the residents.
“Kiraitu’s only accomplishment after five years in office is his bus party, which I hear is embroiled in legal wrangling. Residents elected thieves, crooks, and people who do not fear God, and as a result, children are starving to death. They are stealing public funds and will soon find themselves in a difficult situation,” she said.
Kawira stated that the time had come for Kiraitu officials to stop stashing money in houses in order to buy votes while Meru residents continue to suffer.
