Trans Nzoia Governor George Natembeya has publicly challenged President William Ruto not to take credit for a market project in the county, asserting that the project was funded by the county government and the World Bank. Natembeya made the statement during a public gathering on October 10, 2026, in response to Ruto's announcement of his intention to launch the market on Wednesday.
The governor emphasized that the project was a county initiative, warning against any attempt to portray it as a national government project. This exchange reflects the growing political tensions between Natembeya and Ruto, particularly over development initiatives and the use of the "Tawe" slogan, which Natembeya has criticized as opposition politics.
