Nzioka Waita is back. Not with solutions. Not with a plan. Just noise. He strolls into Machakos like a camera-wielding tourist, pretending to understand a county he doesn\u2019t even come from. The truth? He\u2019s from Makueni. And yet, he talks as if he knows the blood, sweat, and progress that Governor Wavinya Ndeti has poured into Machakos. In just three years, Wavinya has done what Alfred Mutua failed to achieve in ten\u00a0 from revitalizing healthcare to uplifting county workers. Ask Machakos employees. They will tell you. It\u2019s on record.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Waita\u2019s latest act of hypocrisy? Using the nurses\u2019 strike as a political trampoline. He won\u2019t say that seven out of nine demands have already been met. He won\u2019t say Wavinya is ready to return to negotiations to end the standoff. Why? Because facts kill his narrative. While Wavinya rolls up her sleeves, Waita rolls out empty statements. He is not here to fix. He is here to fish for votes.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

And here\u2019s what he doesn\u2019t know\u00a0 or doesn\u2019t want you to know. Wavinya has built dispensaries close to the people. She\u2019s upgraded Level 3 hospitals into fully equipped Level 4 facilities. She\u2019s decongested Machakos Level 5 with modern machines. And now, she is building the Muindi Mbingu Speciality Hospital a Level 6 giant to rival Kenyatta National Hospital. This is history in the making. But to see it, you have to be on the ground. Not flying in for political photo-ops.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Machakos remembers. When Waita was Head of the Presidential Delivery Unit and Chief of Staff, Ukambani saw nothing. Not even a whisper of development. His only real appearance in Machakos politics was the day he lost to Wavinya \u2014 badly. He vanished after that defeat, only to reappear when he smelled political blood in the water. But this county has a scarcity of fools. And no tourist, however loud, can rewrite the record of a governor delivering every single day.<\/p>\n
