Speaking in Emurua Dikirr on Sunday, the governor said the MCAs should stay away from his functions if they do not support his administration and should let him serve the people who elected him.
“They should avoid the political drama they are used to in their own wards. If they can’t join us in identifying and funding development projects, they should let us engage with residents directly,” said Mr Ntutu.
Narok Governor Patrick Ntutu has fallen out with a section of Members of the County Assembly (MCAs), who have accused him of skewed allocation of development funds and bursaries in the region.
The MCAs have also questioned the whereabouts of road construction equipment bought by the county at Sh1.48 billion, claiming that it has not been deployed to certain wards especially those represented by leaders perceived to be critics of the governor.
