Nairobi — Two Cabinet Secretaries have told off political leaders claiming credit for development projects executed by the government while criticizing President Uhuru Kenyatta’s administration.

Interior Cabinet Secretary Fred Matiangi and his Agriculture counterpart Peter Munya said it was hypocritical of such leaders to condemn the government while claiming political mileage for development projects it has undertaken.

They were speaking at a public baraza in Chiakariga in Tharaka Nithi County during the unveiling of the new Chiakariga Sub-County administration unit.

“It’s very dishonest for leaders to take credit for all the many projects President Kenyatta has initiated and at the same time accuse the same government of doing nothing. It cannot be a case of both,” Matiangi said.

On his part, Munya urged critics who are still in government to respect the President and allow for incremental development arguing it was impossible to meet every community’s wish list.

“We cannot say that we are where we should be, but let’s learn to give credit where it’s due. We all know that those spreading the campaign that the government has done nothing are bitter and selfish people who have overran themselves and their shortcuts to power have hit a dead end.”

The leaders who also addressed meetings in Kiriirie SDA Church and Tunyai Mixed Day Secondary School urged voters to be wary of dishonest politicians cherry-picking on Government development agenda.
