“Nitaendelea kuzunguka kila corner ya Kenya na kazi ya maendeleo…kutoka Mombasa hadi Kisumu, Moyale hadi Namangaโ€ฆhii siasa ya kusema ya kwamba mtu ametoka mahala fulani ati maendeleo itaelekezwa mahala fulani jamani tuwache (I will continue to traverse every corner of Kenya, bringing growth and development; from Kisumu, Moyale, and Namanga. We should stop the belief that development should be channeled towards a particular region because someone comes from there),” he said.Ngunjiri on Tuesday led a demo against the Uhuru slur over Jubilee lawmakersโ€™ agitation for more projects in Central.He joined Gatundu South MP Moses Kuria, who said Kiambu had been neglected in development.Kuria added: โ€œIt is in that spirit and in line with the Presidentโ€™s position that I believe Mt Kenya region also deserves development just like any other region. Right now itโ€™s not happening.โ€
