Githunguri, Kenya – Fiery Githunguri Member of Parliament, Hon. Gathoni Wamuchomba, has once again stirred the hornet’s nest, this time calling out what she terms as reckless and unaccounted public expenditure by the ruling Kenya Kwanza (KK) Brigade.
In a strongly-worded statement, Wamuchomba questioned the source of the massive funds allegedly spent during a single day of political events in Kilgoris, Githunguri, and Kiambaa. According to her, over KES 100 million was splashed in public donations, luxurious motorcades, and high-end helicopters as the KK team crisscrossed the three regions.
“Pressing for accountability is our singular role,” Wamuchomba asserted. “Yesterday alone, the KK Brigade spent over KES 100 million in public displays. Each MP had something to show off in their respective constituencies—choppers, limousines, and bundles of donations. The question Kenyans must ask is, where is this money coming from?”
The Githunguri MP, known for her bold and unapologetic stance, further criticized the government for its failure to meet basic financial obligations while its leaders appear to operate with extravagant ease.
“How is it that the government is struggling to pay its bills—delayed salaries, stalled development projects, and unpaid contractors—yet these leaders have access to unlimited resources for political theatrics?” she posed.
Her remarks have sparked fresh debate about transparency, accountability, and priorities within the ruling administration. As Kenyans grapple with rising living costs and economic uncertainty, the optics of opulence and unchecked spending are unlikely to go unnoticed.
Wamuchomba has urged investigative agencies and Parliament to initiate a thorough audit into the sources and use of such funds, insisting that leaders must be held accountable to the people they serve.
