Uhuru And Ruto Are Not Welcomed In Chuka Town! Angry People Deface Roads Named After The President And His Deputy (Photos)

Tharaka Nithi County literally won Uhuru 2013 presidency. How come people there are no longer receptive to the President and his deputy??

Renaming of roads in Chuka town, Tharaka Nithi County has caused friction between the national government and the county government.

The newly constructed roads were named after President Uhuru Kenyatta, DP William Ruto, Senator Kithure Kindiki and Chuka/Igambang’ombe MP Muthomi Njuki.

The omission of the name of Tharaka Nithi governor, Samuel Ragwa, in the renaming of roads which was done by Kenya Urban Roads Authority (KURA), is one of the reasons that caused dissention among residents.

Apparently there is bad blood between President Uhuru and Tharaka Nithi governor. Mr. Nithi skipped Uhuru’s visit to his county in 2013 saying he wasn’t involved in the arrangement of the president’s visit. (Just like what happened with Joho when Uhuru visited Mombasa without informing him)

Chuka residents woke up on Saturday morning to find road signs bearing Uhuru and Ruto’s names sprayed with black paint to conceal their names.

So who do you think vandalized the road signs in your own opinion????
