Ndindi Nyoro hits back after state officials snub his event
Kiharu MP Ndindi Nyoro has hit back at his critics in government after state officials on Wednesday snubbed the handing over ceremony of an administration block
Kiharu MP Ndindi Nyoro has hit back at his critics in government after state officials on Wednesday snubbed the handing over ceremony of an administration block for local administrators.
The one-storey building located in Mjini area near Murang’a town was funded by the Kiharu NG-CDF.
It will host Kiharu Assistant County Commissioner, the divisional Lands registry, the area assistant chief’s office and the Mukuyu chief’s office.
Despite it being expected to be a sensitive event that would attract high-profile leaders from the national and county government, not even holders of the offices nor their representatives graced the occassion.
Just one official, a representative from the directorate of social services, was present.
While reacting to the development, Nyoro urged fellow leaders to respect each other despite differences emerging over their stands on various issues.
The MP emphasised that he has no bitterness over his ouster as the chairperson of the Budget and Appropriation Committee and that he will continue to serve his people in the best way possible.
Last week, the MP was removed from the coveted position and replaced with Alego Usonga MP Sam Atandi.
Nyoro was ousted together with other leaders perceived to be allies of former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua.
“Respect is very important, even for the people that one considers lowly because you never know how their future will be,” the MP said while addressing residents of Mjini settlement near Murang’a town.
He said he was given a chance by Kenyans to serve in the position and that he harbours no ill feelings about his replacement saying his successor is also a deserving Kenyan and wishing him the best.
“With all the experience I have accumulated during my tenure as the committee’s chairperson, I will be there to assist him if consulted. I don’t want to be selfish. All aspirations and ambitions can only be achieved with God’s blessings.”
Nyoro, however, reiterated that he will not be exchanging words with political leaders over the issue and that he will focus on serving Kenyans.
The second term MP said he has steered away from disrespectful utterances in his political career as he understands the need for leaders to respect each other.
“Even before the 2022 elections, when we engaged in high-octane politics, I tried not to insult anybody. Even now, I will continue respecting people but let them not take my respect for cowardice,” Nyoro said.

The legislator said he’s on record for criticising the then government, but criticism should not be equated with the use of abusive language.
“We shouldn’t exchange harsh words. If any words have to be exchanged, let them be words that are helpful to Kenyans,” he added.
The MP, who spoke while commissioning a new block for administrators in Kiharu division, outlined the numerous developmental achievements made by his constituency office, including the tarmacking of streets in Murang’a town’s estates.
He noted that his decision to tile all public primary schools was instigated by a tour of South Africa during which he came across Camps Bay High School, a public institution that is well maintained.
“I don’t tile the classrooms for fun. It’s to motivate learners to do better in their studies. We have also established seven new secondary schools. I already feel so blessed, that I sit in parliament as a carpenter’s son and I know this was possible because of education”.
Education, he said, is a priority agenda in his constituency.
