Ejidius Njogu Barua attacks Murang’a Senator Kembi Gitura and Health Cabinet Secretary James Macharia
In February 2016, Njogu Barua and a section of other leaders from Kirinyaga County launched scathing attacks at Murang’a Senator Kembi Gitura and Health Cabinet Secretary James Macharia for allegedly conspiring to divert a road construction.
They accused Kembi Gitura and CS James Macharia, who hail from Murang’a County, of diverting a plan for a dual carriage road to Murang’a.
“The issue of the road is suspicious because the person who is fighting for the road so hard is Senator Kembi Gitura and the CS Macharia is also from the same county,” expressed Njogu Barua.
“Let us know whether there is a conspiracy against the Kirinyaga people,” he added.
According to the leaders, the road whose construction is underway, was supposed to begin from Kenol junction towards Makutano then connect to Kirinyaga and other neighbouring counties.
The issue was later resolved after both the Murang’a and Kirinyaga roads were ear-marked for dualing.
