Bishops from Lower Eastern churches met Machakos Governor Wavinya Ndeti on Thursday to discuss the county’s budget stalemate.
The clergy, representing various denominations, paid a courtesy call to the Governor’s office. There, they raised concern over the deadlock that has crippled county operations.
Bishop Titus Masika of the Christian Impact Mission addressed the Press briefly on behalf of the group. He said the bishops had prayed over the matter before the visit.
“We felt the issues involve other players. We will continue consulting so that the stalemate in the county can be resolved. The consultation continues,” Bishop Masika said.

He added that their focus was on the county’s wider progress. “Our concern is how Machakos can become a great county and how the citizens can benefit fairly from resources,” he said.
Governor Wavinya, in turn, welcomed the church’s intervention. She noted that faith leaders play a critical role in fostering peace and unity.
“The Church remains a pillar of hope, guidance and unity in our society, and my administration will continue to work closely with faith leaders, valuing their prayers, wisdom and counsel as we build a better Machakos for the benefit of our people,” the Governor said.
