Machakos Governor, Wavinya Ndeti has told off a section of politicians and activists who have been trolling her over awards of county government tenders.
"Those who are out to entrench tribalism in my Government should be warned that I will not play into their game. Every resident of Machakos County has the right to do business with the Government," Wavinya charged, saying the county belonged to all.
The Governor maintained she will not engage in a war of words with her opponents, saying the people of Machakos will ultimately vindicate her.
"Imagine i will not succumb to blackmail by those who seek to sow seeds of discord in my administration"- said Wavinya Ndeti.
A section of local MCAs and activists have launched attacks against Wavinya, claiming her government had been awarding tenders to non-residents of Machakos.
But the Governor has stood her ground, saying she had contravened no law in the award of tenders and other executive appointments.
"I will hold my peace and let those who wish to continue making noise do so. I am answerable to Machakos residents who voted for me," she said.
The Governor urged residents to use the paybill numbers issued by the County Finance department so as to prevent leakage of revenue.
"We hope to do much more in this year's budget because our priorities have been clearly set out in the County Integrated Development Plan (CIDP) which is why we encourage residents to channel their payable taxes to the prescribed paybill numbers," she said.
Governor Wavinya Ndeti was speaking this on Sunday after attending a Sunday Mass at St. Christopher Catholic Church in Kyumbi, Mavoko.
