Stop Following Govt Officials when they are on the Ground while you have done nothing in NAIROBI to lobby for anything,Muasya Tells sleepy Kitui West MP Edith Nyenze
The Commission on Revenue Allocation (CRA) Commissioner Ben Muasya has launched a scathing attack on Kitui West Member of Parliament Edith Nyenze, accusing her of incompetence and failure to effectively lobby for development projects for her constituency.
Speaking on Monday during an interview with TCD Digital, Muasya claimed that the MP’s leadership has been reduced to accompanying local administrators during relief food distribution exercises instead of focusing on long-term development initiatives.
According to the CRA commissioner, Nyenze often criticises the national government publicly while simultaneously following government officials during official visits to Kitui West to claim credit for state-funded projects.
Muasya argued that bursary disbursement and relief food distribution are routine government functions and should not be used by elected leaders to score political mileage.
He further alleged that the Kitui West MP lacks the capacity to lobby within Parliament, revealing that he once personally guided her by showing her the Office of the Majority Leader in an effort to help her understand how to push for constituency interests.
“Kitui West deserves better representation than what the people are currently experiencing,” Muasya said, adding that residents have not benefited from strong advocacy at the national level.
The CRA commissioner went on to claim that Nyenze has never successfully lobbied for any major development project since assuming office.
Muasya maintained that all ongoing and completed government projects in Kitui West were a result of his own lobbying efforts and not those of the area MP.
His remarks underline rising political tensions in Kitui County, where leaders have increasingly engaged in public exchanges over development records and political credibility.
As the debate intensifies, residents of Kitui West are now left to weigh competing narratives as pressure mounts on their elected leaders to prioritise service delivery over political wrangles.
