In the past few days there has been news in major blogs that the newly constructed 33km road from Makutano to Mwala in Machakos county is in a bad state.
Through his Facebook page, this is what Dr Afred Mutua, Machakos Governor had to say:
"Can those spreading propaganda & fake photos of the 33 km Kithimani to Makutano ma Mwala road please take a PERSONAL drive & videotape/ film it.
They should also talk to engineering experts and to residents served by the road.
The road is perfect, has a strong base and double seal chippings with bitumen. Those criticizing it are clearly part of an orchestrated campaign and do not understand road construction.
Our message: we will continue serving the people of Machakos with
deligence, squeezing every shilling so as to give more to our people who
have languished in poverty for years.
We are in a new Kenya. We will not be cowed. We have just started! Service to the people."
