Former Machakos gubernatorial aspirant Nzioka Waita has sharply criticized Governor Wavinya Ndeti’s administration, accusing it of poor leadership, ignorance, and failing to prioritize the welfare of residents.
Speaking in a widely circulated address, Waita took issue with the county government’s handling of the ongoing nurses’ strike at Machakos Level 5 Hospital, which has left many patients without essential care. He expressed frustration that Governor Wavinya was attending and “dancing” at the Devolution Conference while Machakos residents were, in his words, “suffering and dying due to lack of medical attention.”
“The current government of Machakos County is making it look like it is impossible to run a government,” Waita said, adding that the strike is a symptom of deeper issues in leadership and resource allocation.
“How can we think about development as Machakos residents when everyone who is sick is not treated well?” Waita posed.
Nzioka Waita urged residents to stop voting based on political party loyalty and instead elect leaders with proven ability to solve real problems.
“We must choose leaders who can deliver — not just those who sing party slogans,” he emphasized.
The nurses’ strike at Machakos Level 5 Hospital has now entered its 6th day, with nurses protesting over unpaid allowances, poor working conditions, and inadequate staffing. Meanwhile, patients continue to bear the brunt of the standoff as health services remain paralyzed.
