Mbadi: Linda Mwananchi ‘Visitors’ Used Feeder Roads to Misrepresent Suba
The criticism has put the condition of roads in Suba under fresh political scrutiny, with opponents of the government using footage from the tour to question claims of development and infrastructure investment in the region.
Nairobi, Kenya - National Treasury Cabinet Secretary John Mbadi has dismissed allegations about the state of roads in his constituency, blaming members of the Linda Mwananchi campaign for deliberately misrepresenting the condition of major highways. The criticism emerged after the Linda Mwananchi team visited several parts of Homa Bay County, including Sindo, and expressed concerns over road conditions.
This has sparked renewed political scrutiny over road infrastructure in Suba, as opposition parties have used footage from the tour to challenge the government's development claims. Mbadi, a former Suba South Member of Parliament, rejected the portrayal, stating that the roads featured in the tour were not representative of the main highway.
He pointed to online footage of travelers on the Kigwa-Magunga stretch, which he described as a feeder road, and accused the Linda Mwananchi politicians of behaving like visitors who exploited the condition of the feeder roads to criticize the government. This political spat has unfolded as the Linda Mwananchi campaign visits the region ahead of the 2027 General Election, with infrastructure projects like the Mbita-Sindo-Magunga-Sori road becoming a central focus of the debate.
