AfricaPress-Kenya:<\/strong> Kiambu Governor James Nyoro (pictured centre)<\/em>\u00a0has marked 100 days in office since taking over from his impeached former boss Ferdinand Waititu.<\/p>\n

And depending on who you speak to, Mr Nyoro, who took over from Waititu at the end of January, has either made progress or delivered little.<\/p>\n

But the governor himself says he has achieved a lot especially in the fight against the Covid-19 pandemic in the three months he has been at the helm, considering he had no cabinet or a public service board. \u201cOur guns are squarely trained on combating the coronavirus and the immediate task was to ensure all our hospitals were prepared to deal with the pandemic,\u201d Nyoro told The Standard in an interview.<\/p>\n

Political bickering<\/strong><\/p>\n

Before he took over, the county had been haunted by poor leadership, egoism and political bickering that put service provision and infrastructural development to the back burner.There were allegations of misappropriation of millions of shillings for which Waititu is currently battling in court.<\/p>\n

Nevertheless, Nyoro\u2019s critics say so far, he has not made substantial change of fortunes for Kiambu residents.Kiambu Town Ward MCA Anthony Ikonya questioned Nyoro\u2019s style of leadership, painting a picture of a governor not popular with the people.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe governor\u2019s 100 days in office were taken over by the pandemic, but this and the floods being experienced in Kiambu County need people-oriented solutions, not boardroom meetings where officers take notes,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

But\u00a0Kahawa Sukari MCA Livingstone Waiganjo said Nyoro has achieved a lot and his administration is in the process of clearing pending bills and re-organising the bloated work force.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere was duplication of duties and we have sorted out this issue, we have also managed to collect Sh3.3 billion in revenue from the previous\u00a0Sh2.6 billion but this has now been badly hit by the pandemic,\u201d he said.Nyoro said the county government has trained 1,700 medical personnel to handle Covid-19 patients and equipped them with personal protective equipment (PPEs).<\/p>\n

\u201cOur medical personnel have worked extremely hard in creating awareness and ensuring the virus does not spread. We have enough N95 and surgical masks as well as pharmaceutical and non- pharmaceutical items for Covid-19 related conditions,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Besides this, he said many stalled projects including road construction works had been revived under his administration.And while opinion on his achievements is divided, some residents say the governor should be given ample time to deliver.<\/p>\n

Hooliganism<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cThis is a sober governor, we can see there is no hooliganism, flamboyancy and disorganisation like we experienced in the other regime,\u201d Kariuki Waihenya, a resident, said.Kariuki said the MCAs should also not hold the governor hostage but allow him to deliver.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
