Former South Mugirango MP Omingo Magara has put Kisii Senator Sam Ongeri on spot.
Mr Magara who unsuccessfully vied for the Kisii senator seat in 2017 polls argued that Senator Ongeri is lazy.
The vocal politician said Ongeri has gone blind to allow corruption in the devolved unit.
"The current Kisii senator has failed to oversight Governor James Ongwae's government. Ongeri needs to wake up to ensure that the money being sent to the county from the national government is utilized well," he said.
According to Magara, Ongeri's old age could be the reason he is becoming lazy in his oversight roles.
He challenged the people of Kisii to consider electing him the next senator in 2022.
"Ongeri is tired and therefore, he needs someone like me to take over from him. My appeal to the people of Kisii is that they should vote for me when the time comes. I won't sleep nor fail in my oversight roles in the county," he added.
He was speaking on Friday during the burial of David Tamaro Abuya, the proprietor of Tabaka Academy at Tabaka Ward, in South Mugirango Constituency.
