QUESTIONS AS FLAMBOYANT LAWYER KEN ECHESA QUITS. - He cites several reasons as he exits as Gov Barasa's Chief of Staff.

Dear Brothers and Sisters, After extensive consultations and a profound forty-day experience, I have decided to resign from my position as Chief of Staff for Kakamega County. I tendered my resignation to the Governor this morning, wishing him all the best in his future endeavors. In my correspondence, I highlighted the dire state of our medical facilities, emphasizing that to believe our health sector is functioning effectively is to embrace a falsehood. It is my conviction that the Chief Officer of Health is misrepresenting the realities of a system that is, in fact, failing. Furthermore, I urged the Governor to initiate urgent reforms within the Finance Department, ensuring that contractors who have fulfilled their obligations are compensated in a timely manner. It is vital that pending payments for staff, as well as dues for retired ECDE teachers, are settled promptly. Additionally, I called for the immediate remittance of SACCO and tax deductions, as mandated by law. I ...

FORMER  Cabinet Minister Professor Fredrick Amukowa Anangwe has hailed Kakamega Governor Fernandes Barasa's commitment to get a Medical college in Butere. Speaking to  eshikumo2030.blogspot.com , Prof Anangwe said since the advent of devolution, Butere was yet to get meaningful development. "Actually, the Governor is bold and focused in getting a KMTC here, this is something comendable and we are fully behind him and will engage the Minustry at the National level to compliment his efforts" He said. Anangwe who served as Butere MP long before devolution said past regimes at county level had their priotities wrong because the lager population in Butere was fooled to believe their job was to clap for and praise leaders. "I actually think we were overated in as far as devolution and development is concerned because even the devolved funds holders turned to demi gods demonizing those who they thought could not follow blindly" He said. Governor...
