Wednesday November 27, 2013 - The African DAILY POST has learnt the reason
why Machakos Senator, Johnstone Muthama, is opposed to the Machakos City
project which was unveiled a fortnight ago by his Excellency President Uhuru
Kenyatta.
According to our insider who is a close ally of the CORD
lawmaker, Muthama is opposed to the project because majority of investors are Central
Kenya oligarchs who are ready to pump billions to the project.
The Sh 1.5 trillion project is a brain child of Machakos Governor,
Alfred Mutua, who wants to attract
investors in the poverty stricken County.
The insider said rich individuals from Mt Kenya region have
already hijacked the project and they have promised to invest more than 70
percent of the project.
Kikuyus bourgeoisies led by President Uhuru Kenyatta and
former President Mwai Kibaki are among individuals who will hold major stakes in the project once it is complete..
Here is a list of Mt Kenya elites who have promised to
invest in Machakos City project.
1. President Uhuru Kenyatta - through his Commercial Bank of Kenya, he
has promised to invest Sh 4 billion into the project.
2. Former President Mwai Kibaki - through his companies, he has
promised to invest Sh 3.5 billion
3. Former Head of Civil Service, Francis Muthaura - promised to
construct a Sh 1 billion five star hotel
4. Former Mukurweini MP, Ephraim, Maina - promised to buy several
helicopters to ferry people from Machakos to Nairobi
5. Equity CEO, James Mwangi - promised to build a multibillion
university equivalent to University of Cape Town.
6. Stanley Murage - ready to invest Sh 1.5 billion in a modern
transport system in Machakos to Nairobi
7. Michuki’s family – ready to open a five star hotel equivalent to
Windsor Nairobi.
8. Charles Njonjo - ready to build a hotel and an ultra modern sport
complex with an 18 hole golf course.
9. Dr Dan Gikonyo – he is ready to build a modern hospital that will
be the biggest in East and Central Africa.
10. Britam CEO Benson
Wairegi - he has promised to construct over 5,000 apartments to cater for the
population increase in the County.
Muthama’s fear is that the Kikuyu elites, who are brilliant
political schemers, may take control of Machakos County the way they have taken
Nakuru Town.
