Nyeri Town Member of Parliament Duncan Mathenge recently faced a hostile reception from his constituents.
During a public appearance, he was met with chants of “Mwizi,” which translates to “thief” in Swahili, indicating accusations of corruption or misappropriation of funds.
The incident occurred as Mathenge attempted to distribute Christmas gifts to his constituents.
Instead of gratitude, he was confronted by an angry crowd expressing their dissatisfaction with his leadership.
This public outcry reflects growing frustration among residents regarding perceived corruption and lack of effective representation.
Such events highlight the increasing demand for transparency and accountability from public officials in Kenya.
Citizens are becoming more vocal in expressing their discontent with leaders they believe are not serving their interests.
This incident serves as a reminder to politicians about the importance of maintaining integrity and being responsive to the needs and concerns of their constituents.
