Kiambu Senator Karungo wa Thang’wa claims residents were paid to attend a State House event but were short-changed by their Members of Parliament. He alleges MPs paid Ksh6,000 instead of the budgeted Ksh10,000.

• Kiambu Senator Karungo wa Thang’wa stated the event, where President William Ruto pledged Ksh76.5 billion for development, would not impact the political landscape.
• President Ruto promised Ksh4.5 billion for 30 modern markets, Ksh30 billion for 15,000 housing units, and Ksh22 billion for the 240-kilometre Mau Mau road network in Kiambu County.
• The senator encouraged residents to demand the remaining Ksh4,000 from their MPs, highlighting a perceived discrepancy in funds allocated for their attendance.
