According to Ichung’wah, Nyoro allegedly influenced the diversion of funds to his constituency, leaving other regions at a disadvantage.
Speaking on the matter, Ichung’wah questioned the fairness of the allocations.
“Every MP represents a constituency that deserves development.
It is wrong for some to benefit more than others simply because of their positions in key committees,” he said.
The issue gained attention after Suna East MP Junet Mohamed also pointed out that Kiharu had developed infrastructure, including well-finished classrooms, at a level that seemed unrealistic under the usual National Government Constituencies Development Fund (NG-CDF) allocations.
“This is not about fighting anyone personally,” Junet stated. “We are talking about fairness.
How is it that some areas are progressing so fast while others struggle with even the most basic infrastructure?”
Following these accusations, Nyoro was removed from the Budget and Appropriations Committee, a move that many believe was a direct response to the claims of favoritism in fund distribution.
However, Nyoro’s supporters argue that he has simply been a hardworking leader focused on improving his constituency.
Some Kenyans defended him, with one saying, “Bora aliiba akasaidia sisi hatuna shida” (As long as he took the funds and helped us, we have no problem).
Another stated, “Where was Ichung’wah when Nyoro was doing this?”
The controversy has sparked a larger debate about transparency and fairness in Kenya’s budget process.
Many leaders are now calling for stronger oversight to ensure that public funds are distributed equitably.
One political analyst weighed in on the issue, saying, “This is not the first time such accusations have surfaced.
There is a need for a more independent system that prevents political leaders from influencing resource allocation based on personal interests.”
