Unfortunately, not even the death of Nyeri Governor Nderitu Gachagua has mellowed Members of the County Assembly who, until his death, were a thorn in his flesh. They did everything possible to hinder the governor from executing his mandate and even in death, they declared that they would boycott his funeral. That signifies a deep-rooted problem.
It seems MCAs have over-rated their role in the management of counties. Project identification and implementation is a collective, consultative process that takes on board all stakeholders in line with constitutional requirements and separation of powers.
