Amani National Congress (ANC) party members from the Mt. Kenya region have come out to claim that the government is sidelining them despite helping in government formation.
Speaking on Sunday to the media, the leaders have accused the Kenya Kwanza Government of failing to recognise them despite contributing to the formation of government through votes.
The leaders claim they were yet to receive a share of 30 per cent of funds disbursed to the party despite working consistently hard to boost their coalition’s image in Mt Kenya during campaigns that led to the August 2022 victory.
Margaret Tongai, the Deputy Party Leader of ANC, categorically stated that the coalition had left out the party, associated with Prime Cabinet Secretary Musalia Mudavadi.
“We need these people. We need to lay structures because we voted for Kenya Kwanza so much but I can categorically say that we are left out by the Kenya Kwanza Government. When they were giving out the 30 per cent to ANC, the Mt Kenya region was not captured and I say that honestly.”
The leaders have asked President William Ruto and his deputy Rigathi Gachagua to recognise their efforts and reward them for contributing to the success of Kenya Kwanza Government.
“We are part of Kenya Kwanza and did a lot of work during the elections. However, we have seen that Kenya Kwanza has not fulfilled the promises it made to us as ANC.”
