Top politician calls on GenZ to protest against Kakamega Governor, County Assembly

_{By Andanje Wakhungu.}

Following the ongoing impasse at the County Assembly of Kakamega several leaders are calling for the uprising of generation Z protesters to put the executive on toes as far as transparency and accountability of the county affairs is concerned.

Led by the County Woman Representative Elsie Muhanda, the leaders including MCAs opposed to the alleged skewed style of leadership have stated that governor Fernandes Barasa has failed to account for the Ksh.17 billion county revenue allocation and has pocketed the executive and a section of Mca supporting him and shutting pout those seen to be questioning his unfair distribution of resources.

“The Kakamega county assembly has been overrun by the executive and more worse things concerning funds is going on there under the table we want our crusaders, the Gen Zs, to come on board and open the Pandoras box for us to know exactly what is going on as those MCAs who could ask questions have been suspended and the remaining have been forced to toe the line or also be thrown out leaving the executive to do as I wishes with the coffers monies,” she posed.

The leaders were speaking in Malava during the burial of the Chemuche ward administrator Soita Imbogo.

Mulembe News understands that at least only two Wards have so far received the Ksh.4Million bursary out of the seven and with the recent passing of the county budget where only a handful of MCAs supporting the governor were allowed to log online to propose and second contrary to what the county law states.

The Woman rep who is eyeing the county seat in 2027 after being recognized by the Deputy governor Ayub Savula when she arrived at the venue considering that hardly a week she was in the same vicinity where her supporters roughed up Barasa supporters for booing her during her speech, she was the first one to throw the salvo by announcing that the county assembly has been held captive by Barasa and his supporters.

Chemuche ward MCA Geoffrey Sikolia who has been suspended over his hardline stand against the governor in the assembly over the change of the chief whip and later when he blew the whistle over the fake fertilizer, continued with his onslaught against bad leadership in the county criticizing the discriminative bursary disbursement.

He mentioned the staled Malava dairy plant, municipality status that has since become a mirage and cautioned the locals against being lured by a few individuals supporting Barasa for their own selfish gains to brand them rebel leaders seeking justice as bad MCAs but instead stand firm and demand equitable service delivery.

Earlier on the Leader of Minority at the Assembly David Ndakwa had raised the red flag after finding out that the county budget had been hijacked and passed by close cronies to the governor without their involvement.
