“The way to solve an issue is first to accept responsibility. I am happy that the Governor is positive on this. So, very soon, I am going to call the meeting so that we can iron out the differences,” he stated.
Members of Parliament led by Gakuya also pleaded with the DP to intervene and ensure a better working relationship with the county government.
The Embakasi North MP pointed out that for development to be felt by the constituents, leaders are supposed to collaborate.
“We also want to feel a part of the leadership of the city. Kenya Kwanza MCAs are saying they have been neglected. We want you to intervene and give a solution to this stalemate. You are the only person who can call all of us together and guide us on how we will work together,” Gakuya stated.
