Anthony Kirori Ndung’u has criticised the current Members of Parliament from
the Mt. Kenya region for failing in their duties to support President Uhuru
Kenyatta and his deputy William Ruto in implementing the Jubilee agenda in the
last 4½ years.
Speaking on Saturday during his
final campaign stretch, Kirori, who is vying on a Maendeleo Chap Chap ticket,
described their performance in Parliament as a disappointment.
“The current elected
representatives from the Mt Kenya region have accomplished very little in terms
of contributions to bills and motions brought to the House by the Jubilee
Government, despite their tyranny of numbers. They left it for the opposition
to dominate, thereby frustrating UhuRuto’s quest to implement their agenda for
the people of Kenya,” said Kirori.
He added that all Mt. Kenya leaders
did was to jam media stations for publicity without taking into consideration,
their primary role in representation and legislation.
“It is for this reason Kenyans
and Juja residents are craving for change. Juja people need a leader who will
go to parliament to legislate and make laws that will benefit them and make it
easy for President Uhuru Kenyatta and his deputy to implement the Jubilee
manifesto for this country,” he said.
Kirori said that his priority if
elected to parliament was to work out a permanent solution to the traffic jams
along the Juja flyover and improve on the infrastructure of the constituency
which has been the greatest challenge over the years. He also promised to
ensure that all his constituents accessed clean and safe water within the next
five years of his tenure in office.
“We have also been having a lot
of challenges in acquiring title deeds for our plots of land across Juja
Constituency. I will prioritise this mission to ensure my people enjoy the
benefits of their properties. I will also ensure that all grabbed public
utility is reverted back to the people,” he said.
He said that he would work to
empower the people of Juja through programmes geared towards job creation.
