Nakuru Governor Susan Kihika says she is on maternity leave ending speculation she is having a good time out of the country even as service delivery in the county suffers.
In a statement issued today on her behalf by Dr Peter Ketyenya, Kihika assured Nakuru residents that service delivery is proceeding as envisaged under guidance of the team led by Deputy Governor David Kones.
“I have no doubts whatsoever in HE Kones leading them in my absence. I will be resuming official duties at the end of my leave in the next few weeks,” added the governor, who revealed she had received numerous calls regarding her absence.
