Machakos Governor Alfred Mutua has said cheap politics is to blame for underdevelopment.
On Sunday, he said many Kenyans still live in poverty 53 years after independence.
“Ít's shameful that 53 years since independence, Kenyans are still languishing in abject poverty due to cheap politics. Politicians should change their attitude and work harmoniously to transform the livelihoods of Kenyans,” Mutua said.
He spoke during a fundraiser for the expansion of a Catholic church in Busia town.
Mutua said his Maendeleo Chap Chap movement will be visiting various parts of the country.
"I will move to all corners of this country to ensure that Chap Chap is visible," Mutua said.
Mutua said Kenyans should live harmoniously and promote peaceful co-existence among themselves, irrespective of their political affiliations to enable the country move forward economically.
He however lauded the residents of Busia County, which is a cosmopolitan region for living in peace.
Mutua gave a personal donation of Sh200,000.
