Atati Kengere, KNC party leader said the unity between the two governors is strong. 

"It is now evident that Governor Ongwae values Nyagarama. Those claiming Kisii County undermines Nyamira are lying. I'm happy Ongwae was among top leaders who welcomed Nyagarama home," he said. 

Thomas Nyamote, a NASA allied politician challenged governor Nyagarama to work around the clock the same way Ongwae is doing in Kisii county. 

"I hope Nyagarama after his win at the Supreme court he will perform. It is high time he should copy Mr. Ongwae who is doing a good job in his county," said Nyamote. 

Rachael Otundo lauded Ongwae for showing up to welcome Mr. Nyagarama. 

"We are seeing the fruits of unity among our leaders. The two county bosses should now focus on development," she stated. 

She challenged Ongwae and Nyagarama to bring their rivals on board for accelerated development in respective counties before going on retirement in 2022.
