KAKAMEGA GOVERNOR ROASTS "REBEL" MCAS
KAKAMEGA Governor Fernandes Barasa over the weekend roasted a section of County Assembly members who he discribed as "wayward" and "rebellious".
Speaking in Butere when he officially released County Bursery cheque's to over 21 school heads from three wards, the county boss openly took issue with leaders.
Explaining why the release of the monew was delayed, the Governor said most of those cheque's were written long ago and had been laying at his office without being picked.
"These cheque's were written in May but some of your MCAs have different interests and have not picked them forcing my office to bring them to you " He said a mid cheers.
For instance, a cheque for Elite Girls Secondary school in Marama West ward was dated 1st of May and had not been collected for the school for three months.
Answering his critics, Governor Barasa took a swipe at inaction by some MCAs saying their interest was to open battle fronts in the assembly instead of leading in seeking development for their people.

In what was seen as an attack on three MCAs, Marama South's Opuka, Marenyo Shianda's Ondiro and Marama West's Saitama who, with others, had unsuccessfuly attempted to overrun Assembly marjority leader Philip Maina, the county boss went for their jugular.
"kazi yao ni kwenda kwa press kupigana na kulumbana mambo ya marjority leadership na vitu zingine that are not adding value to voters" He said.
The three MCAs who were present sat pensively as the governor lectured them as he was cheered by Wananchi present at Butere Sub County Headquarters grounds.
Earlier, Governor Barasa had also taken a swipe at Koyonzo's Donald Okumu and Mumias North Ward's Yasin Muchelule.
He said he will not sit back and allow elected leaders who are supposed to help him deliver thru lagislation on his mandate sit around, form groups that are meaningless and engage in parochialism. Adding that where he feels there is a delay, he will go straight and serve the people at the grassroots.
Later Saturday evening, the county boss with hundreds of supporters presented a bull to EX Governor Whyclife Oparanya who had lost his elder brother in Mabole.
