Governor Cyprian Awiti has been on the receiving end regarding graft and corrupt officials in his cabinet.
While attending the funeral of the former County Executive Donny Opar, the Governor was put under fire as four of the County’s Members of Parliament asked him to sack corrupt officials.
The four MPs faulted some senior County Officials for delaying service delivery and paralyzing progress aimed at improving the County Agendas.
However, the vocal governor dismissed the calls and told off the MPs to focus on what took them to Parliament.
“I will not sack my officials because you have said so. Some of you are only new to parliament hence cannot understand the challenges that come with being a leader. None of you has been a governor so far, do what took you to parliament,” said the Governor.
