According to Gachagua, the governor moved 100 million shillings from county funds and directed the money toward activities in Ol Kalou over a three-month period. He described the move as suspicious and questioned the transparency of how the funds were used.
The allegations came during a well-attended public address that drew large crowds of citizens. Gachagua highlighted concerns over the lack of essential services, including reports of missing medicines in health facilities.
He suggested that such financial decisions reflect poor priorities and possible mismanagement at the county level.
This latest criticism places Governor Mbarire under intense pressure. Political observers note that accusations of this nature can quickly damage reputations, especially in a region where citizens demand clear accountability for public money.
The claims have sparked discussions about governance standards and the need for proper oversight of county budgets. Gachagua's remarks appear aimed at positioning himself as a defender of public resources while intensifying rivalry within local leadership circles.
Supporters at the rally cheered his direct approach, showing frustration with what many see as misplaced spending amid ongoing challenges like inadequate medical supplies.
As Kenya prepares for future elections, such public exchanges highlight deep divisions in county politics.
The 100 million shillings allegation has raised questions that demand answers from the governor's office. Whether this develops into a wider investigation or remains a political battle will be closely watched by citizens across the affected areas.
