Good morning,
Once again, Infotrak Research ‘exposed’ non-performing leaders with this time the focus being on senators.
In the latest ranking by Infotrak released on Wednesday, Makueni Senator Mutula Kilonzo Junior was named the best performing senator followed by his Elgeyo Marakwet counterpart Kipchumba Murkomen and Steve Lelegwe of Samburu.
This comes just weeks after Kakamega Governor Wycliffe Oparanya was named as the best performing county chief in a survey where residents rated their leaders followed by Kwale’s Salim Mvurya and Makueni’s Kivutha Kibwana.
In the National Assembly, Emuhaya MP Omboko Milemba was ranked as the best performing legislator by the same research firm followed by Emurua Dikiri’s Johana Ngeno and Mwala’s Vincent Musyoka.
However, poorly ranked politicians have dismissed the leaders’ performance index by Infotrak alleging malice and false representation of facts with others claiming that such reports are doctored to serve certain interests.
Today we ask you; do you believe these rankings are a true representation of things on the ground or are they a ‘witch hunt’ as lowly ranked leaders allege?
