A governor will today reportedly spend Sh40 million in a celebratory party after the Supreme Court rubberstamped his election.
According to the Standard, Wajir Governor Abdi Mohamud will have a homecoming ceremony at Orahey Grounds in Wajir town.
Council of Governors chair Wycliff Oparanya will be the chief guest.
Preparations for the party are in top gears as reports emerge that top musicians of the Somali origin have been flown to give the ceremony the hype it needs.
Among those brought in to entertain residents is Somali-born music sensation Farxiya Fiska.
Close allies of the governor said, up to 30 MPs have confirmed attendance, several cabinet secretaries and governors.
The case against the election of the governor dragged in court for a year as top legal minds exchanged legal jabs over the governor’s papers.
At the centre of the legal tussle were the governor’s education papers.
Mohamud and his deputy Ahmed Ali Mukhtar will use the platform to thank the people of Wajir for their prayers and tolerance while awaiting the Supreme Court verdict.
