The youthful senator, addressing a large crowd, accused the Head of State of ignoring key promises made to residents of the region.
In his fiery speech, Methu repeatedly used the phrase “Wewe Kasongo Wewe” while directing his criticism at the President.
The phrase, which loosely translates to “You cunning one,” quickly caught the attention of the audience, sparking murmurs and applause in equal measure.
According to the senator, Nyandarua residents feel abandoned despite playing a major role in delivering votes for the Kenya Kwanza administration.
He claimed that while other regions had seen projects launched, Nyandarua was still waiting for meaningful development.
“Mr. President, we supported you wholeheartedly, but we are still waiting for roads, water, and jobs for our young people. We cannot be taken for granted,” Methu said.
The senator went further to warn that continued neglect could cost the ruling party political ground ahead of the 2027 elections.
He argued that the people were growing restless and might look for leaders who were willing to act on their needs rather than repeat promises.
His comments appeared to target stalled infrastructure projects in the county, particularly road networks and agricultural programs that were expected to support farmers.
Farmers in Nyandarua have been struggling with poor market access and rising input costs, issues that Methu claimed the government had failed to address.
“We are a county of hardworking farmers, but our milk and potatoes fetch nothing. If the government cannot stand with us, then we must rethink who really values us,” he told the crowd.
The remarks have since generated debate across political circles, with some leaders accusing the senator of disrespecting the President, while others praised him for being bold enough to speak on behalf of his constituents.
Observers noted that Methu’s sharp criticism reflects growing unease within sections of Mt. Kenya leadership over the pace of government projects.
