CS Alice Wahome Tells Off Popular Senator Who Called Her Powerless
Lands Cabinet Secretary Alice Wahome has clapped back at Senator Joe Nyutu over remarks he made on Sunday.
“I am more interested in service delivery and governance and not power. I don’t know who sent you to talk about me,” she fired off.
CS Wahome, who revealed she had just arrived in Baku, Azerbaijan for COP29, noted she was busy representing the country at the summit and would not be distracted.
“I have just arrived in Baku, Azerbaijan for COP29. I’m here for various high-level meetings on behalf of the Country. Kindly do not drag me into your politics,”
This is after Nyutu claimed Wahome is powerless in government. “I dare say this, that though Alice Wahome is the CS (of Lands), she has no power in that ministry. All the power is with the Principal Secretaries and they have no regard for her,” Nyutu stated.
The Senator further faulted the current regime for carrying out a choreographed plan to kick out leaders from the Mt Kenya Region after using their votes to win the 2022 general elections.
“There is something wrong. It cannot be that the leading lights in the mountain, almost all of them are now out of government [Sic]. These are the people who brought President Ruto to our region and campaigned for him,” Nyutu said
