Residents of Kangundo Sub-County have been urged to remain vigilant against political incitement and misinformation targeting elected leaders.

Speaking during a community engagement with widows in the area, well-wisher Stella Nzembi emphasized the need for civic education, particularly around the roles and responsibilities of various elected officials—from Members of County Assembly (MCAs) to Members of Parliament (MPs), Senators, and Governors.

“I’ve heard people heckling when the name of our MCA, Evelyn Nzeki, is mentioned,” Nzembi said. “But it’s important to understand that the role of an MCA is oversight, representation, and legislation. Unless they are allocated funds, you cannot expect them to implement development projects.”

Nzembi urged residents to verify claims made about public officials before taking sides or spreading falsehoods.

“Please be careful. Don’t fall for incitement based on unverified allegations. Instead, educate yourselves about the specific duties of each leader and assess them fairly,” she added.

During the meeting, Nzembi also announced her intention to vie for the Kangundo parliamentary seat in the next general election, positioning herself as a voice of unity and informed leadership.
