Is Governor Mutua A PR Guru?

Machakos Governor Dr. Alfred Mutua has been accused of being a PR professional following the exposed pics of the much hyped Kithimani to Makutano ma Mwala road that cost the county a reportedly Ksh.650 million within three months. The road is now all patches . Two weeks ago Dr.mutua was hosted by Julie Gichuru on Citizen Tv's Sunday Live where he said the contract was awarded to eleven contractors. Each contractor doing a stretch of three kilometers of the thirty three kilometers road. During the show Mutua claimed that the road was built through a 'new technology' of using chippings .Feeling like an engineer Mutua explained. " You put a first layer of four inch chippings with bitumen ,then after that you let cars pass on it . Then you put a finer chippings layer ,once that layer sits on it ,for about three to four weeks the bitumen that was on the ground comes up and forms the tarmac layer on top...." He went on to say that what people are seeing are the loose chippings that is meant to be blown away by the cars and after three weeks the road would be smooth.
Kenyans on Twitters(#KOT) exposed the shoddy job by the 'PR Guru' via the hash-tag:
