Homa Bay Governor Cyprian Awiti should stop victimising county staffers over his failure to deliver, former Kasipul MP Oyugi Magwanga said yesterday.
He said Awiti should not blame his County Executive Committee members and chief officers for his failures. “Awiti must stop victimising county employees by sacking them,” Magwanga said.
“In 2013, people only voted for Awiti, and being the team leader he had to take control and ensure all the promises he made during campaigns and in his manifesto are executed.”
In his campaigns, Awiti said his administration had not performed to public expectation and promised to constitute a new team.
Seventeen county staffers have received sacking letters after being accused of supporting Magwanga – Awiti’s main opponent in the August 8 election.
Speaking to the Star on the phone, Magwanga gave Awiti 24 hours to constitute his government and start work.
“Other governors newly elected or those who retained their seats are in their offices executing their duties, while Awiti is only being spotted between Kisumu and Nairobi,” he said.
