Kiambu Governor Kimani Wamatangi has hit out at his political opponents, accusing them of spreading propaganda instead of prioritising development in the county.
Speaking on Thursday during an event at the Kiambu County Headquarters, Wamatangi defended his administration’s track record, especially in the health sector, while dismissing allegations of poor performance raised by some leaders.

He said his critics lacked a clear development agenda and were instead attempting to discredit his government’s achievements.
“Those who want to compete with us lack an agenda. When they see the development we have achieved, they resort to inventing issues,” he said.
“The best way for them is now to look at how to soil what you have done by promoting negativity.”
The governor urged county employees and residents not to allow political criticism to undermine the work of healthcare workers and officials who, he said, had made significant sacrifices in serving the public.
He praised health workers for their dedication and the risks they take while attending to patients and handling emergencies, noting that their efforts should not be dismissed for political gain.
Wamatangi further challenged his rivals to account for development projects funded through the National Government Constituencies Development Fund (NG-CDF), arguing that leaders should be judged based on tangible results.
He said each Member of Parliament controls over Sh1.5 billion in CDF allocations over a five-year period and questioned what visible projects had been delivered using those funds.
The governor added that constituencies in Kiambu had collectively received over Sh15 billion over the years and insisted that leaders should be evaluated based on development outcomes rather than political rhetoric.
He maintained that he would remain focused on service delivery and would not be distracted by political attacks, saying engaging in constant rebuttals would derail his agenda.
Wamatangi also urged county staff to stay committed and continue defending their work in serving residents.
