Meru Governor Kawira Mwangaza has stirred debate in the county by naming a recently refurbished road after her husband, Murega Baichu. The road, connecting Kirung’a to Muthalankari in Nyaki West Ward, Imenti North Constituency, has been under rehabilitation for the past week.

The move has raised eyebrows and sparked discussions among residents, with Governor Mwangaza captioning the photo of the road, “Murega Baichu Rd. Hakuna boiling tena,” on social media. Critics argue that this decision reflects favoritism and has fueled controversy within the community.


Conversely, critics have raised concerns over potential nepotism and favoritism, suggesting that such a move blurs the lines between personal and public interests. They argue that infrastructure development and naming should prioritize community needs over personal connections.
