Drama was in Butiru County yesterday, during the ongoing distribution of Maize seeds to farmers by state house official, Keffa Mafumo, as one of the area LC3 chairman, identified as Kinyata attempted to block the distribution.
According to this area LC3, he alleged that Mafumo had not written to his office, seeking permission to distribute seedlings to the residents of Mayanza, Butiru County.
In this process of a scuffle, the angry residents threatened to thump the area LC3 for failing a Government program, aimed at fighting poverty at house level.
The angry residents were forced to chase away the LC3 in order of getting free maiz seeds distrubuted by Keffa Mafumo.
"We need the maize seeds, we are not doing well and we would not wish to see leaders like him sabotaging a government programme. Actually, the internal security organs must investigate on this LC3, these are people who have opted to fail president M7's Government" -one of the residents made a call.
According to our reporter who was on the ground, he says that the LC3 was operating on the orders of one of the Area MPs of Manafwa District.
Speaking to Keffa Mafumo who is vying for the Member of parliament seat in 2026, he said that it has been almost a month while distributing seedlings to several sub-counties without any sabotage.
"We need to get people out of poverty, and this is because we want to implement President M7's initiative. We shall not allow any individual to sabotage or halt any Government program and I won't allow selfish politicians to exploit my people of Butiru"- Mafumo Keffa.
Mafumo further assured residents that no subcounty will be left out during the distribution of Maize seedlings and a hoe per household.
