Busia governor Sospeter Ojaamong has responded after DPP Noordin Hajji called for his arrest over corruption allegations.
According to Ojaamong, he is ready and willing to provide the office of Director of Public Prosecutions Noordin Hajj with information the allegations.

Hiowever, the county boss has maintained no public funds was lost in the project.
“We had to use the money that we had set aside for the cleaners as our contribution to Madam R Enterprise and she registered a company in Kenya where money for salaries for the workers used to be channeled,” said Ojaamong
“She took over the management of the casual workers and solid waste management as we waited for feasibility study to be done Madam R Enterprise wrote the report and that was all and her contribution was more than ours,” the governor added.
He stated that he signed the deal for the good of the county.
