Kabete MP Ferdinand Waititu is facing the wrath of his constituents for asking them to boycott the August 8 vote, should a road not be constructed. Waititu, during a voter registration campaign at the weekend, said the people should not vote if Wangige-Ngecha-Rironi road is not revamped. He was captured on video saying the people should make their demand when President Uhuru Kenyatta tours the region from Friday, as expected. Residents of Kiambu, which Waititu wants to lead as governor, said his remarks amounted to censuring the President. A Juja-based leader who requested anonymity said the MPs' remarks were ill-timed and misplaced.
