The Muthara Ward MCA in Meru County has launched a new structure described as a bridge, located just a few kilometres from the rural home of Peter Munya, the former Cabinet Secretary for Agriculture.
This initiative aims to improve local infrastructure and connectivity in the village.
The move draws criticism from residents, many of whom have dismissed the project as inadequate, arguing that it falls short of basic infrastructure standards.
There has been mixed feedback from residents regarding the bridge’s construction. Some locals have criticized the project, labelling it as substandard or inadequate for the community’s needs, sparking debates on infrastructure quality and political promises in Muthara Ward.
The timing and location of the bridge near Peter Munya’s home might not be coincidental, given Munya’s significant political influence in Meru County.
The project could be seen as a statement or a political move by the current MCA to demonstrate development efforts, especially in areas associated with prominent political figures.
Critics on social media have pointed out that while the bridge represents an effort towards development, its execution might not meet the expectations or standards required, leading to public disappointment.
