A 73-year-old woman has been forced to buy a newspaper space to vent over county government officials who are frustrating her in Embu County.
In a letter addressed to Embu Governor Cecily Mbarire, Zainabu Ramadhan Njoka lamented that some county official erected a wall at the entry point of her home blocking her from accessing her homestead.
She lamented that she has been forced to beg neighbours for a way so that she can access her home.
"Your excellency, the entrance to my home is now permanently blocked after someone in your government saw it fit to fence off the road fronting it and put up a permanent building ( hall) on it," the letter read in part.
"The road in question was curved out during the subdivision of our family's land close to five decades ago and has always been used as a road ever since."

Njoka says despite the National Land Commission resolving the conflict and advising against the construction of the wall, the county officials ignored the directive.
"Your Excellency, we sought the intervention of the National Lands Commission (NLC) on the matter, but the directive from NLC to the county not to construct a building on the road was ignored," Njoka added.
She went on to implore Governor Mbarire to intervene and save her from the suffering she going through.
"I implore you to intervene and order the reopening of the road so that I can regain unrestricted access to my house. Please end my suffering at the hands of county officials," she noted.
The letter has been copied to the National Land Commission.
