Governor Wavinya Ndeti has called for political tolerance and the protection of democratic space, stating that leaders should be allowed to engage freely with citizens without coercion or intimidation.
Speaking during a Sunday service at St. Joseph Catholic Church in Mlolongo, Gov. Wavinya encouraged residents to focus on unity, peaceful coexistence, and constructive dialogue that builds stronger bonds within the community.
She also called on everyone to pray for leaders and for the country, asking for guidance, wisdom, and peace in all spheres of life.
“I will not be pressured into taking any action outside the law. Every decision we make must be guided by the Constitution and the rule of law, which exists to protect the rights of every citizen and ensure fairness,” the governor stated.
Governor Wavinya took a moment to reflect on her administration’s development achievements, sharing how progress in key sectors continues to improve the daily lives of Machakos residents.
She urged Members of County Assembly (MCAs) to pass the Wikwatyo Fund bill into law, ensuring that women-led CBOs, youth groups, and marginalized communities can access resources that will transform their livelihoods.
“On this blessed first Sunday of the Lenten season let us return to the Lord with sincere and humble hearts, seeking not only outward observance but true inner renewal. Let us be encouraged that His grace is sufficient for us all, and His love never fails,” she said.
