Rise above partisan politics, Waita chides Machakos residents

Machakos governor aspirant Nzioka Waita has called upon the electorate to rise above party politics and vote in leaders based on ability to offer efficient service delivery.

Speaking in Ndithini ward on Wednesday, where he kicked off his tour of Masinga Sub-County, Waita warned against interference by political parties in the region saying Machakos residents have a democratic right to elect their preferred leaders.

“I urge the people of Machakos to rise above party politics. Our County will not be governed by a political party. Choose your leaders especially in the County level with service delivery in mind,” he stated

The Chama Cha Uzalendo(CCU) party leader pledged to provide solutions to critical issues such as proper health care services, water shortage and efficient roads.

“Our people will no longer have to seek treatment from the neighboring Murang’a County. Under my leadership such will be an issue of the past. I will ensure adequate medical supply in all hospitals,” he said

Further, Waita is promising a free feeding program for children in Early Childhood Education(ECD) which has been received well by parents and education stakeholders in Machakos county.
