Residents of Bungoma County are irked by the County Director for Special Services Carolyne Buyela utterances that the people of Mt Elgon do not deserve services.
Several residents took to social media to condemn Buyela for what they said were “reckless remarks against the Sabaot Community”.
They posted a video of Buyela saying she won’t visit Mt Elgon anytime because there is “nothing good” the people of Mt Elgon can offer Governor Wangamati.
The Video of the “Mt Elgon people do not deserve services Slur” has since gone viral.
“When I walk around helping my people, they say I am doing wrong. My dear mothers, when I come here during your Chama’s and help you, will I have done wrong?” No! the crowd cheered her.
“I come from Makemo village, when I am here, I am at home, why should I go to Mt Elgon and help the people there? Do they know me?” No, the crowd responded.
“I should help you because when it will be time to campaign for Governor Wangamati, you will have seen me representing him here. You will say I was a Great lady. You will say She came here, she mourned with us, she contributed in our chama’s and therefore you will vote Wangamati” she said.
“They want me to go to the Sabaots and do what! I won’t” Buyela said.
One Chakai Musa posted on Western Union Whatsaap Group:
“This woman is the Bungoma County Director for Special Programme but here she is openly mocking the people of Mt Elgon as nonentities. She is saying that her duty is to only serve her village and not waste time serving other parts of the county especially Mt Elgon. Very useless woman!”
“I always wondered and at first thought she is director of special programs in Bungoma County Government” Mark Baraza.
“She is the County Director for Special Programme but publicly saying that she has no time for Mt Elgon people and Teso community. She should be told that Mt Elgon is part of Bungoma County.” Chekai Musa.
“But besides utterances she has never served anybody else besides Webuye East” Mark Baraza.
“But Ford Kenya shut out Mt Elgon (sabaots) from the Deputy Governors seat in 2017 – crocodile tears won’t help here.” Mike Magero.
Professor Wanjala, “This is what happens with familiarity, it breeds contempt! Loud rumors about appointing authority!”.
“She is being paid by Taxpayers to serve them not to campaign in her village” Mark Baraza.
Several residents said Buyela wants to succeed aging Alfred Sambu as Webuye East MP.
Sambu was born in 1944 and is 77 years old.
Her utterances have infuriated residents of Mt Elgon who feel sidelined in Governor Wangamati’s administration.
