Cadi Carriers is already tarmacking Mwanyani-Ikulu road while Mwova Agencies is murraming Eastleigh-Kathemboni road.The two companies are owned by the MCA and his brother.
The MCA is said to have threatened Kenya Urban Roads managers to have him awarded the tender by invoking the name of Uhuru Kenyatta’s head of presidential delivery unit Waita Nzioka who happens to come from the area and is actually a cousin.
The company did not go through the procurement process and residents are complaining that is why he was doing shoddy works.
The residents who are now planning demonstration against the MCA accuse him of carting away water pipes in the name of expanding the road thus denying them access to clean water.
The MCA is said to be building his warchest for a bigger political seat and has been overheard bragging how he will give area MP Victor Munyaka a run for his money since he has set his eyes on the Machakos Town seat held by Munyaka.
The residents said EACC and CID director George Kinoti should immediately commence investigations on both the MCA and his companies and help to unravel the financial syndicate that is stealing public funds in the name of doing roads.
The same companies, according to residents are doing county projects financed by World Bank in addition to doing street lighting in Kiima Kimwe-Muvuti ward.
