Embakasi West MP, George Theuri has said something that has shocked many, not only his constituents but also many Kenyans who have to deal with poor roads.

He started this all by himself. on his social media. In a Facebook post, the flamboyant and showy legislator sought to know why the residents are always quick to say that the roads are in deplorable condition yet the residents are the main cause of road degradation.

“We are quick to conclude how our roads are in deplorable conditions but do we take time and think we are the main cause of this problem. Until when we shall change our ways we still have a long way to go… change starts with you and me,” Theuri wrote.

The MP also shared several pictures of women doing laundry in their houses to justify his claims that the used water when poured outside damages roads.

His comments, however, didn’t go down well with the residents who urged him to do a better job and to stop working on social media.

“So the big pot holes we have in all the roads are caused by this? Where is the planning sector coz these houses are constructed without the drainage system? Someone is sleeping on his/her job,” Boniface Kiruthu commented.

“What is mhesh struggling to say. Too much face booking and equally a lot of good work on Moi Drive. My vote was a waste,” Wilson Kingori wrote.

“Tell the landlords and landladies to build their houses in such a way that there is drainage. You can’t stop tenants from doing laundry,” said Lunn Kish Braidist.
