Mumias East MP Benjamin Washiali on Sunday said the governor has “planted” parliamentary aspirants in Mumias East and West “so they can clean up his name”. The MP, a major critic of the governor’s tenure when he served as the Mumias Sugar Company managing director, alleged that Kidero is funding David Wamatsi to run for Mumias East MP. He never thought someone would come out strongly to challenge him in Mumias East,” he said. Washiali also dismissed social media reports that he had contributed to the collapse of Mumias Outgrowers Company and the Mumias Sugar. He also told Washiali to use his position in the government to prosecute Kidero in the allegations he led to the collapse of Mumias Sugar.
