Wednesday, December 18, 2024 - Meru County Assembly members (MCAs) are up in arms over Governor Kawira Mwangaza’s latest ranking where she emerged among the top performers.
Speaking during a visit to the
Marimba Primary School, the MCAs put the controller of budget on notice for
approving budgets for nonexistent projects and ranking Mwangaza among the
best-performing governors.
They stressed that the recent
polls and reports placing Governor Mwangaza among the best-performing in the
country were skewed.
They gave the example of
the Early Childhood Development and Education (ECDE) section of the
Marimba Primary School, a project that had been deemed complete and operational
but none of it was observed during their visit.
“The former governor Kawira
Mwangaza is lying to people by documenting that this project has been completed
and paid for,” one of the MCAs stated.
The chair of the education
committee of the County Assembly on his part, revealed that the area MCA had
allocated Ksh1.2 million to build the classroom but there was nothing to show
for it.
“We are putting the controller
of budget on notice. I don’t know if she is receiving bribes from the governor
or what is going on because she has ranked her at position two in allocating
county revenue but there are no such projects here,” he stated.
He went on to add that most of
the 777 schools in the county were in the same state and that they would be
summoning the chief officer of education to explain the expenses.
To curb this from happening
again, they announced that they would be visiting all projects by Kawira
Mwangaza to ensure none of them were incomplete and signed off as paid for.
