Waruguru made the remarks while addressing residents during a public event. She did not provide evidence to support the allegations or identify the government agencies involved.
Claims Spark Political Debate
According to Waruguru, some transformers that communities received during the campaign period have allegedly disappeared in recent weeks. She claimed the move had disappointed residents who hoped the projects would eventually connect more homes and businesses to electricity.
The former legislator questioned the reasons behind the alleged removal of the equipment. She argued that development projects should benefit wananchi regardless of political differences.
Calls for Government Explanation
Waruguru urged the relevant government agencies to explain the reported exercise. She said residents deserve clear information about infrastructure projects that affect their communities.
She also called on leaders to protect public development projects from unnecessary interference. According to her, electricity remains an essential service that supports businesses, schools and households.
No Official Response Yet
The government had not publicly responded to Waruguru's allegations at the time of publication. Authorities have also not confirmed whether any programme to remove transformers is currently underway.
If confirmed, the claims could trigger wider debate over the management of public infrastructure projects. Residents are now waiting for an official statement from the relevant agencies regarding the allegations.
