The first term ODM senator, on Wednesday in Bosamaro ward, lamented that two entities were reluctant to handle cases of corruption reported in Nyamira County despite frequent reports by locals.

He said: "It is not that EACC and DCI are not aware. I have presented petitions to them and even some residents have done so. So many months later, nothing is taking place in terms of investigations and arrests.

"I am now moving to court to sue these entities. We can't be talking of corruption yet they are not willing to handle it. I will demand to know why Nyamira is being spared," he argued.

Last year, Auditor General Edward Ouko gave an adverse opinion on Nyamira expenditures, a indication that most of money received is either going for recurrent expenditure, ghost projects or both.

For instance, Governor John Nyagarama's team could not account for Sh1billion in 2016/17, even though the government claims that most of the money was not absorbed as allocated.

And Mogeni, a veteran lawyer, is facing frequently attacks from locals who accuse him of failing to oversight the county government properly.
