Nyeri Deputy Governor (DG)Caroline Karugu has criticized a pit latrine billboard erected by Governor Mutahi Kahiga and Konyu Ward Member of County Assembly (MCA) Eric Mwangi.
The DG said the billboard was a cheap publicity prank and bad advise.
“I wish to disassociate from these persistent cheap publicity stunts and I consider them extremely unfortunate and ill-advised,” she said.
The billboard in question is erected at Konyu ward as a signpost for a Nyeri County proposed project to build a pit latrine at Kahara ECDE Centre.
The picture of the billboard has gone viral on social media drawing massive attention.Deputy Governor Nyeri County Caroline Karugu has distanced herself from the petty/shoddy job done by @GovernorKahiga development team, building pit latrines and advertising the same on big billboards. Its all a waste of public funds. pic.twitter.com/IeWiYPT4OG
