Hon. Caroline Wanjiku, a member of the County Assembly in Kirinyaga County, has called on her fellow MCAs to prioritize the welfare of the common citizen, known as “Wanjiku,” and set aside their threats. She criticized the MCAs’ pressure on the government, deeming it premature, and instead urged them to give the government time to fulfill its responsibilities.
According to Hon. Wanjiku, since the current government is relatively new, it is important to allow it sufficient time to serve the citizens effectively. She suggested that instead of solely focusing on salary increments for MCAs, a more inclusive approach should be adopted. One such approach is increasing the allocation of bursaries.
Honorable Wanjiku highlighted her personal experience in her ward, where she was only able to provide a meager Ksh 1,000 for bursaries to needy students. She compared this amount to a needle in a haystack, emphasizing the limited impact it had. She proposed that if the government could increase the county’s allocation, it would enable a broader reach and help more deserving students receive bursary assistance.
In conclusion, Honorable Caroline Wanjiku urged her fellow MCAs to abandon their threats and concentrate on the well-being of the common citizens. She called for patience and a more inclusive approach, such as expanding the bursary program, to address the needs of the community effectively.
