President Uhuru Kenyatta has brushed aside claims that he has ignored the Mt Kenya region in terms of the development of infrastructure.
Speaking in Mombasa during the launch of the Sh460 million Mama Ngina waterfront project, the president said that the people who say and think that development should go to where leaders are elected should be ashamed of themselves.
“Hao washenzi waniwache (Those idiots should let me be). We want all the 40 million Kenyans to benefit from the development being done by Jubilee government, development will not be done in a region because the leader is from the region,” said President Kenyatta.
He noted that they will go from one part of the country to the other and ensure that development is happening as that is the focus of his administration.
This comes after Gatundu South MP Moses Kuria criticized the president and his government for neglecting the Mt Kenya region in terms of development of infrastructure.

The legislator claimed that the president was launching development projects in other regions neglecting the region that voted overwhelmingly for him for two terms.
He later offered his profuse apology to the president before taking another sweep to the Jubilee administration over the weekend.
