A letter sent by Mr Kamote to the President detailing the proposed development projects
He says he singlehandedly lobbied for all the projects in his Wangu Ward.
In a hard hitting statement that he has released after Ministry of Water accused him of engaging in myopic politics over the water projects, Mr Kamote has produced a letter which he sent to President Uhuru Kenyatta explaining that it was the President who advised him to draft the letter outlining all the projects he proposed to be conducted to his people. He says he met the Head of State in 2017 at Karuri market of Kiharu during campaigns and requested him to assist in implementation of several projects in Wangu Ward and it's environs including tarmacking of Maragi - Gatheru - Gitige - Wanjengi - Weithaga road and availing of water pipes to distribute water in the entire Wangu Ward among other projects. After the President's advise to write a letter, Mr Kamote says he wrote the letter and delivered it on 20/1/2017 through State House Presidential mail office.
The MCA says he also met the President at Kenol market in October 2017 while he was campaigning for a second round of Presidential repeat elections that was to be held on 26/10/2017 and reminded him about their last meeting and the letter. He also handed him the same letter and promised to look at the projects after elections.
On 15/9/218, during the wedding of Senator Irungu Kangata which the President had attended, Mr Kamote took advantage of the airtime to remind the President of the project proposals and the tarmacking of Maragi - Gatheru Gitige Wanjengi - Weithaga road and water distribution for the entire Wangu Ward among other projects.
'When the President rose to address the congregation, he responded positively to my requests and assured all and sandry that the road would be tarmaked as well as other projects would be done. Seventy percent of the projects l had requested our President for support have been approved and are being implemented gradually like the tarmacking of the roads whose contracts have been awarded and the Contractors are set to start the works any time.' He says.
Early last year, the MCA recounts he visited the Ministry of Water PS, Hon. Irungu Wairagu and explained him all the challenges that his people go through. The PS according to MCA sent him to the CEO of Arthi Water Eng. Mwangi Thuita and who assigned two engineers to accompany him to survey all the water needs in Wangu and report back to him all the requirements.
" Together, we agreed to visit Wangu Ward the following day and where we assessed all the water requirements for the entire Ward. Consequently, l have followed the issue with the PS and Arthi Water CEO in Nairobi together with KAWASCO Technical Manager, Mr. Kairu and eventually a tender was awarded," The MCA told KK Online News.
But the MCA is perturbed 'by the kind of hatred, arogancy and animosity that has been displayed by some people regarding the authenticity of the letter, boundaries and the level of projects l am entitled to handle or lobby for the benefit of Wangu Ward people.
While describing his critics as sycophants full of jealousy, hatred, malicious, Mr Kamote says the sycophants might do anything just satisfy the ego of their masters.
