STORY By BRIAN MUSYOKA
Embu Senator Alexander Munyi Mundigi has urged residents to disregard calls for disruptions ahead of the President’s visit to Embu County this week. He emphasized the need for unity and respect, cautioning against any attempts to embarrass national leaders during the event.
Speaking to the press after a church service at AIPCA Kathangariri in Manyatta Constituency, the senator stressed the importance of maintaining decorum during the Head of State’s visit. He warned against political factions using the occasion to stage protests or air grievances in a disruptive manner.
“It is inappropriate to shout down leaders, especially when the President is in attendance. Those who do not wish to participate should simply stay home instead of causing disruptions,” he stated, urging residents to exercise restraint and maturity in their political expressions.
Senator Mundigi also highlighted the significance of the visit, noting that it presents an opportunity for the community to benefit from key development initiatives. He emphasized that national leaders visit counties to address pressing issues and launch projects that uplift citizens' livelihoods.
“The President is bringing important projects to our region, and this is a time for us to show our support and appreciation. Let us come out and welcome him warmly,” he urged, calling on Embu residents to focus on the long-term benefits of government engagements rather than short-term political disagreements.
The senator further noted that previous visits by the President had resulted in major gains for Embu, including infrastructural projects, agricultural subsidies, and enhanced service delivery. He encouraged the local leadership to work together in presenting key priorities that require government intervention.
Mundigi also took the opportunity to caution political leaders against inciting the public for personal or political mileage. He reiterated that leaders should set an example by promoting peaceful engagements and constructive dialogue with the government rather than fueling divisions.
He acknowledged that some residents may have grievances, but he urged them to use appropriate channels to voice their concerns. “If there are issues affecting the people, let us handle them through structured engagements rather than confrontations that could undermine our county’s development,” he added.
The senator also appealed to security agencies to ensure a smooth and peaceful visit by taking necessary measures to prevent any disruptions. He called for cooperation between local authorities and residents in upholding law and order throughout the event.
