Kiharu MP Ndindi Nyoro has once again responded to his critics with a statement that has sparked widespread debate, boldly defending his approach to managing Constituency Development Fund (CDF) resources. Speaking on accountability and prioritization, Nyoro argued that proper use of public funds does not always mean spending everything immediately.
According to the MP, when CDF money is well accounted for, it does not automatically get exhausted. “When the money we are given by government as CDF is accounted for, the money will remain,” Nyoro said, before revealing that Kiharu currently has over KSh 50 million allocated for day secondary schools sitting in a bank account. He explained that the funds are being deliberately saved for future needs rather than rushed into spending.
Nyoro’s remarks surprised many when he disclosed that essential school supplies in Kiharu are currently being covered by donors. “Right now, I have got a flour donor and a sugar donor for Kiharu secondary schools. So the money that was meant for those services is being saved for future use,” he added, emphasizing strategic planning over political pressure to spend.
Supporters have praised the Kiharu MP for what they view as rare fiscal discipline and forward planning in Kenyan politics, where unspent public funds are often seen as a failure rather than prudence. To them, Nyoro’s approach demonstrates leadership that prioritizes sustainability, transparency, and long-term community benefit.
Critics, however, have raised questions about reliance on donors and whether essential services should depend on goodwill rather than guaranteed public funding. Others argue that idle funds should be invested in improving infrastructure or learning conditions rather than remaining in bank accounts.
Even so, Nyoro’s explanation has reinforced his reputation as a results-driven leader who challenges conventional political thinking. At a time when public trust in the management of public resources remains fragile, his remarks have once again placed him at the center of national conversation on accountability and responsible leadership.
