“Governor Wavinya’s ouster bid by popular demand means more to the people of Machakos than the rejection of Wavinya Ndeti’s administration.
It amounts to a resounding repudiation of the mismanagement of public resources and Machakos community status decline that everyday people blame on her incompetency and clueless administration,” They asserted
“We shall be overjoyed. This matters to everyone in Machakos. She has shown us she was not the leader we need right now”, said the Oversight Caucus Chair Henry Carlos Kioko alias MwanaWitu.
