More than 200 live rats will be used by a civil society group next week during protests in Nyeri town.

Operation Ondoa Panya activists will carry the rats in what they call a peaceful demonstration. They are protesting the proposal by the county assembly to build a Sh75 million health club. They will be joined by residents from town to the Ruring’u county assembly offices.
Speaking in Nyeri town on Monday, organising coordinator John Wamagata said it is wrong for the MCAs to build such a luxury club when the county needs better infrastructure.
“We shall bring 200 rats and take them round the town. The passion for a sauna club is the only thing the MCAs learnt during their regular trips abroad,” Wamagata said. He said they will also oppose plans to impeach Governor Nderitu Gachagua for leading the residents in opposing construction of the health club.
“The money should be sent to local youth saccos, who can borrow it and start jobs. This will reduce unemployment and help many pople, not just a few individuals,” Wamagata said.
He urged the MCAs to initiate water projects in each ward to ensure all residents can have a decent bath, instead of elite health clubs. The club proposal has been met with stiff opposition by Nyeri leaders, led by the governor. Gachagua told the MCAs to “swim in the rivers in their wards and be massaged by their wives”. The Nyeri County Assembly Health Club will have gymnasium equipment, a steam bath, massage parlour, swimming pool and sauna.
Gachagua on Wednesday vowed to stop the Sh75 million MCAs’ health club project, terming it a “misuse of public funds”.
“I have contacted the controller of budget that this will not happen in Nyeri. The tenders should be cancelled and money returned to the county treasury,” Gachagua said.
“We shall not allow a health club with swimming pool. If MCAs want to swim, each ward has a river or dam for swimming.”
Some MCAs also opposed the health club project. Six MCAs, out of the 46, urged the county assembly to shelve the idea to give other projects priority. Gachagua’s announcement comes a week after he halted local road projects, alleging that some MCAs had an interest in the contracts.
The governor also halted Sh90 million ward projects, citing lack of public participation before the county assembly passed the budget.
