Nyamira MPs hail assembly for ousting corrupt officers
Nyamira Members of Parliament have commended the county assembly for its bold move in ousting of senior officers in the executive implicated in corruption allegations.
Addressing the press in Kisii town, the coca s led by Dr. James Gesani of West Mugirango and his counterpart, Timothy Bosire of Kitutu Masaba constituency, they lamented Nyamira residents were considered as second class citizens subjected to governance that do not abide by the constitution.
“We reject our innocent voters and citizens being subjected to jungle law and misrule that is crafted for the illegal benefit of a selective, few. After a bold step taken by the assembly, we call upon Auditor General and Ethics and Anti-corruption Commission Authority (EACC) to launch their independent and in-depth investigations to get the bottom of the Nyamira county corruption crisis,” called on MP Bosire.
Mr. Bosire told the suspects not to lean on their respective clans instead carry their own cross and prove innocence of the gravely matter.
On his side, Dr. Gesami said they will sternly put the county government on spot check and whistle-blow on the corruption and bad governance for the public to be aware of their rights and know the usage of resources allocated to various projects.
“We will not relent with our watchdog role of monitoring the government’s step and we must tell the public when their resources are blatantly abused by the county government,” reiterated the legislator.
He added, “This was just but the beginning. We MPs are prepared to go to all lengths and take enormous risks to help wananchi and ensure that those given public office serve honestly and within the stipulation of laws of Kenya, because we have the mandate of the people for protecting the constitution and their rights to the latter.”
The two said the top leadership of the county at the helm of Governor John Nyagarama owed Nyamira residents explanation about corruption mess in the county.
They advised Mr. Nyagarama to resolve in driving corruption purge to clean up his government and restructure his leadership in order to get the county back on track.
The two legislators represented their colleagues; Women rep Alice Chae and MPs Charles Geni of North Mugirango and Ben Momanyi of Borabu constituency.
The five parliamentarians from the county have been at logger-heads with governor Nyagarama in the recent past accusing him of poor governance and shielding corrupt officers.
In the Auditor’s report, the four executive members implicated in the misappropriation of funds include; Education Minister, Peter Ogwara, who in the report is alleged to have embezzled Sh12 million, Kepha Osoro in charge of roads and public works, ECM for Finance and Planning, John Omanwa and Executive Member for Water and Sanitation, Andrew Ombati. The other two officers suspended by Nyamira governor John Nyagarama are chief officers.
