Nyamira governor John Nyagarama has been spared an impeachment motion by some MCAs after he held a meeting with the executive.
MCAs who advocated for the impeachment motion cited the health workers strike over unpaid salaries and there is a general go-slow in all county facilities.
Operations in health centres and the county referral hospital have been at a standstill after medics went on strike over nonpayment for two months.
The group of ward representatives accused the executive of incompetence and therefore sending them home was the best option.
Bogichora MCA George Abuga said the executive should be sacked because “they have shown their incompetence”.
“The executive should be sacked with immediate effect as we cannot watch as our people die over something that can be avoided,” Abuga said.
The meeting at the governor’s residence that lasted three hours made a resolution that Nyagarama approval. the Sh6.5 billion budget.
According to reliable sources, a committee of 10 persons was formed to bring on board a report on unclear issues in the county government.
The executive was unwilling to approval the budget due to the increased allocation to the assembly by five percent contrary to the Finance Act, 2012.
