Chuka Igambang'ombe MP Patrick Munene has rubbished sentiments by Tharaka Nithi Governor Muthomi Njuki over construction of a multi-Million Marigiti Market. Munene has accused the governor of sabotaging the project in a bid to lure and seek attention from the public. The MP dismisses the delays in the Chuka market project as mere drama, assuring that construction will commence once the site is cleared and accusing some of using the situation for political gain.

"A times if you realize that some people are addicted to drama and have an attention addiction, you just give them that space as you concentrate on your work.
That’s was the genesis of my life driving clarion call- Ruthless focus. I predicted here that by need of two years we shall have a chuka governor, and that’s where we are now.
On the issue of chuka market that many people are asking me what’s happening, it’s just simple , all what is happening is pure Drama.
We shall be launching the construction of the modern market when time comes.
The work of clearing site is a responsibility of the contractor, and that’s the first payment certificate that every contractor raises, because the contract was awarded on basis of as it is.
So the vipindi you’re seeing are meant to siphon some county funds and also get some milliage for the project.
On petty milliage issues I think I overgrew that now. Our people are brighter than some people think.
So let our people relax- we’re on course , once the drama is over and people have lined their pockets a bit, we shall start the work."
Chuka Igambang'ombe MP Patrick Munene
