State House Comptroller Katoo Tells Lenku To Respect Dead People
Lenku had said in Ewuaso that Katoo raised Sh5 million for Kikuyus who died in the Nithi bridge accident, an indication he loves Kikuyus than Maasai people

State House Comptroller Dr Katoo Ole Metito on Saturday took issue with Governor Joseph Ole Lenku’s statement in Ewuaso over the support of the 11 victims of the Nithi Bridge.
Katoo explained that President William Ruto donated Sh2 million to support the families and children of the victims on Thursday.
“We also raised some money to increase the President’s support and raised more than Sh4 million that was handed to the families,” said Katoo.
Katoo said he was shocked by Lenku’s statement when the governor told the people of Ewuaso Enkidong’i that the State House Comptroller raised Sh5 million to assist Kikuyus of Ongata Rongai.
“That is a reckless statement coming from a governor at a time when the families of the 11 dead victims need support from every corner of this country,” Katoo lamented.
Katoo said Lenku went on to tell the people of Ewuaso that he loves the Maasai while Katoo loves the Kikuyus.
“That is a reckless statement with all indications that the governor hates the dead.
These are our people who perished in an accident and have children in school.
Why is Lenku politicising the deaths of our people who even voted for him in the last general election?” asked Katoo.
He said Lenku visited the bereaved families of the victims on Wednesday and raised some money which they handed over on that day while in the company of Senator Kanar Seki and others.
The State House Comptroller wondered why Lenku loves lies so much that he heats himself.
“The Kikuyu community voted for him, and when their members died in the Nithi bridge accident, he now says he loves the Maasai because he raised only Sh100,000 while Katoo raised Sh5 million because I love Kikuyus more than Maasai,” that is an insane statement coming from the mouth of a governor.
He told Lenku to stop associating him with his boundless lies. He said Lenku earns a lot of money but cannot assist his people when they are in trouble.
Katoo who spoke at Lenchani in Kajiado East asked the leaders to always speak the truth and tell the people what can help them.
