Residents of Luanda Block Road, Demand Answers from Natembeya Over Perceived Neglect
Residents of Luanda in Vihiga County staged a roadblock on [insert date] to protest what they describe as neglect by leaders in the broad-based national government. The demonstrators called on former Vihiga Senator George Natembeya to address their concerns, alleging that the county has not benefited from government projects despite Moses Wetang’ula and other allies being part of the ruling coalition.
Protesters claimed that promises made to improve infrastructure, health, and economic opportunities in Vihiga County have largely gone unfulfilled. Even with Mudavadi in the government, Vihiga has been left behind. We feel ignored and want our leaders to explain why our county has been sidelined, one resident said.
The demonstration, which temporarily disrupted traffic in the area, underscores growing frustrations among local residents over perceived marginalization and unmet development expectations. Political analysts note that such protests reflect broader concerns about equitable resource allocation and the accountability of elected leaders in delivering on campaign promises.
Observers say the matter could escalate if grievances are not addressed, urging leaders to engage the community in dialogue and ensure that development initiatives reach all counties equitably.
