National Assembly Speaker Moses Wetang’ula has assured the residents of the Malava constituency that all ongoing projects will continue despite the passing of MP Malulu Injendi.
Wetang’ula said that with the constitution of the new electoral commission set to take a little longer, he is going to join hands with other leaders from Kakamega County to ensure that all activities, including bursary for students from CDF, continue to run smoothly.
Eulogising the late Injendi during the burial on Tuesday, Wetang’ula described him as a hardworking leader who was always committed to serving his people.
“We are going to ensure that all projects are completed. We will have a caretaker team to help the management of this constituency so that we do not have a gap and hurt the electorates,” he said.
According to the Speaker, the former MP had initiated several projects across the constituency aimed at benefiting his people.
He also urged President William Ruto to help in ensuring these pending projects are completed in his honor.
Injendi, who passed away February 17 after a short illness, is survived by a wife, Betty, and four children.
National Assembly Majority Leader Kimani Ichung’wah and his Senate counterpart, Aaron Cheruiyot, who spoke during the event on their part, told off critics opposed to the new medical cover, Taifa care.
They argued that despite the ongoing debate and negativity about the programme, it has continued to benefit many Kenyans.
“Before you speak, before you make noise, register first. What we have currently in this country are people who like playing politics and peddling lies in every matter,” said Cheruiyot.
Ichung’wah, on his part, urged the president to ignore critics and continue delivering on his set programmes. He admitted that while there are some challenges affecting it, they are being addressed slowly.
“Do not listen to misinformation and disinformation being perpetuated,” he said while encouraging Kenyans to focus on their health, noting “the pain is only to you and your family".
