Residents of Siakago Market in Mbeere North Constituency, Kenya, staged protests over alleged sub-standard work, stalled development projects, and years of neglect under Governor Cecily Mbarire’s administration. The demonstrations highlight frustration with poor service delivery despite MP Leo Wa Muthende (formally Leonard Muriuki Njeru) recently taking office in November 2025.

• Concerns include lack of cabro paving, poor roads, inadequate drainage, unreliable water, and absence of flood lighting.
• The protests occurred just months after MP Leo Wa Muthende was elected in a November 27, 2025 by-election.
• The situation in Siakago, the headquarters of Mbeere North Constituency, is described as “unbearable” by residents.
