Machakos Governor Wavinya Ndeti is under scrutiny following allegations by Nelson Amenya, who exposed claims of mismanagement within the county government.
Amenya alleged that Governor Wavinya has abandoned her official Machakos office and shifted county operations to a private lounge in Kinanie, Athi River. He shared coordinates (-1.416886, 37.022340), pinpointing the location where the Governor allegedly operates.
According to Amenya, the facility is a state-of-the-art lounge that has become the center of all county activities. He accused the Governor of summoning employees to the site and making them wait in line for hours, often without meeting them. “If you don’t go to Kinanie, you risk suspension,” Amenya said.
Local residents reportedly confirmed that county operations now take place in Kinanie, raising concerns about the accessibility of services to the county residents. Critics argue that this shift is inconveniencing both county employees and the public.
“This is how an entire county is being managed as though it were a small kiosk,” Amenya remarked, painting a bleak picture of the Governor’s leadership style.
The allegations have sparked outrage among stakeholders who feel that relocating county operations away from Machakos undermines effective service delivery and alienates residents. Many have expressed disappointment, saying this is contrary to the leadership style Governor Wavinya promised during her campaign.
The governor has yet to address the claims publicly. However, her silence has fueled speculation, with some questioning the motives behind moving operations to the secret hideout.
Political observers have warned that these revelations could damage her administration’s credibility and impact her re-election prospects. They argue that immediate corrective action is needed to restore public confidence in her leadership.
As the controversy unfolds, all eyes are on Governor Wavinya to see how she responds to the mounting criticism and whether the county’s operations will return to Machakos town, where they belong.
