As the range of anger against the government continues to be expressed by a section of Kenyans in different places across the country, leaders have appealed to Kenyans to cool off the tempers and allow the leaders to visit them at the grassroots for development projects.

This plea comes at the wake of hard times for all the Members of Parliament (MPs) and Senators from Mt Kenya region who voted in favour of an impeachment motion against former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua. Some of these lawmakers have being at the receiving end of public heckles and walkouts.

Ahadi Kenya Trust Director Dr. Stanley Kamau has appealed to residents of Rwathia in Kangema Constituency, during a birthday party for his colleague Dr. Kamau Wairagu, to at least allow these politicians to come to the grassroot for development projects especially issuance of bursary funds.

Kamau reminded Kenyans that they also took part in forming the current government through voting and they should prosper to vote wisely in 2027 other than refusing the elected leaders to work for them.

Dr. Kamau Wairagu pointed out that Mt. Kenya is on the lead in taxation and it will only be prudent for the same taxes being utilized for development projects and thus the residents should not be a stumbling block to the leaders despite their anger, which he said should hold until 2027.

On Friday, Lands and Housing CS Alice Wahome in her tour to Murang’a County made a similar appeal to the people to put down the striking rod they have held against the government for them to be able to benefit from development projects.

Wahome was responding to Gatanga MP Wakili Edward Muriu, who had made his address at Sabasaba market saying that the president must be made aware that the people of Murang’a are wounded by Gachagua impeachment and thus the wound is so deep and fresh.

On her part, Maragua MP Mary Waithira said that she doesn’t have the strength to fight the government for three years and thus she will support it for her people of Maragua to benefit from development projects, until 2027.

The leaders, some who spoke in their mother tongue dialect and objected for an interview over the same, called on Mt. Kenya residents to therefore tone down their anger and work together with the government instead of clenching their fists for the remaining term.
