Source: Facebook The building, which was meant to house the office of the deputy county commissioner, was expected to be handed over to national government officials, but that is yet to happen. Did county officials attend office launch On Wednesday, March 19, local administrators, including chiefs and police officers, boycotted the official opening of the office, an unusual move that has intensified reports of a fallout between Nyoro and the Kenya Kwanza administration.
In previous instances, government officials would accompany Nyoro during his development tours, but this time, they were conspicuously absent. A close aide to the Kiharu MP told TUKO.co.ke that administrators were allegedly warned against attending the launch, The aide explained that it was ironic that the officials refused to show up despite the fact that some of them had initially requested the office block to be built.

Nyoro has steered clear of politics, launching more projects. On Thursday, March 20, he attended another event in Kahoro, where he commissioned a conference hall at Kahatia Secondary School. The facility was built in honour of former MP BC Muturi.
During the event, Nyoro reaffirmed his commitment to development, downplaying any political tensions. “And so, God willing, we want to give respect to our former MPs. We are going to have projects in everything we are doing. We will set up about seven or eight projects in honour of our past MPs,” he stated. How is Nyoro’s relationship with Ruto This development follows a widely publicised press conference held by the Kiharu MP at his Kenyatta International Convention Centre (KICC) office on Tuesday, March 18. During the briefing, Nyoro addressed his abrupt removal as chair of the budget committee, expressing confusion and disappointment over the decision. He revealed that the Kenya Kwanza Alliance leadership, led by President William Ruto, did not inform him beforehand or provide reasons for his ouster. Nyoro, who played a key role in the coalition’s 2022 election victory, described feeling betrayed by Ruto’s actions.
He also disclosed that his last discussion with the president regarding political matters occurred in October 2024, further highlighting the growing disconnect between them. Nyoro’s remarks have sparked discussions about internal dynamics within the Kenya Kwanza Alliance.
