π¨ GOVERNOR KANG'ATA VISITS DRIVER RECOVERING AFTER RALLY SHOOTING
Murang'a Governor Irungu Kang'ata has visited his driver, Gitari, who is recovering after being shot during unrest ahead of a political rally in Nyahururu last month.
Photos from the visit, showing Gitari at his modest rural home, quickly circulated online and sparked widespread debate. While many praised the governor for checking on his injured employee, others questioned the living conditions of political staff and whether drivers and support personnel are fairly compensated.
The shooting itself remains a subject of controversy, with Governor Kang'ata previously blaming the police for the incident, while police denied involvement and said the driver was treated and discharged.
The visit has reignited conversations about employee welfare, income inequality, and the responsibilities of public leaders toward their staff.
What do you think? Should public officials do more to improve the welfare of their employees, or is an employee's housing and lifestyle a personal responsibility?
