The Meru Count Assembly majority whip further noted that their main focus is to see Meru absorb allocated funds before the end of the financial year. Adding that they are already behind schedule on development due to the internal wars between leaders.
“We want this issue to be concluded as fast as possible because we are already late and some of the money should have been spent by now and we want to take as little time as possible because we want people to benefit from the funds,” he noted.
Nonetheless, Meru Minority Leader Mwenda Ithili noted that Governor Mwangaza still needs to change her attitude and Language towards other leaders.
Mwenda argued that unity will be good for the posterity of Meru’s growth.
“All we want is for the governor to change how she used to address us because with that in place, we will be ready to work with her. All we want to do is to serve our people.”
