Migori Governor Okoth Obado has apparently retained the trust of most of the leaders in the county, despite his implication in the murder of Rongo University student Sharon Otieno.
The Governor has since, however, landed on the receiving end from critics, some being his fellow leaders from Luo Nyanza who are calling for his resignation as the probe continues.
He was on Thursday last week remanded pending the consideration of his initial bail application, a sitting which was heavily attended by Members of County Assembly (MCAs) from his county.
One of the members on Tuesday said that the move was a demonstration that they remain in support of the county chief despite his implication in the capital charge, and hope for his quick acquittal.
"We travelled to show solidarity with our governor. We continue to wish him well and we pray that he be vindicated," one of them told the Nation.
Initially, a section of locals and residents, especially from the Obado's Uriri background held demonstrations for his release, terming his continued detention an embarrassment to the county.
He is expected to appear before Lady Justice Jessie Lessit at the Milimani Law Courts on October 8, where his application to be released on bond will be determined.
