Emerging details indicate that the initial reported push for the ouster of Migori Governor Okoth Obado could be slowly regaining traction.
This comes amid an intensifying rivalry between the county boss and the Senator, Ochillo Ayacko, whom he has not been in good political terms lately.
Last week, Ayacko held a meeting with the region's ward representatives, in a meeting which he said was based on salvaging the county from widespread graft.
“The Auditor-General's report is a just tip of the iceberg. If you carry out a forensic audit in the devolved government, you will cry for our beloved county,” he was quoted by the Monday Nation.
He promised to aid the Members of County Assembly (MCAs) with their scrutiny role, in what seems like a plan to further pin the Governor who is already facing graft allegations.
“My office will ensure you have the knowledge to scrutinise the use of public funds,” he told the leaders.
But Obado has since rubbished the claims, noting that no money has been lost to graft and all the utilized funds have been put to good use.
"We are well ahead of other regions in development though we are also ahead of them in propaganda,” he is quoted.
Obado has since landed on the radar of the Ethics and Anti Corruption Commission (EACC) after details emerged that he might have used fraudulent companies to embezzle Ksh2.5 billion from the county coffers.
The two leaders faced off in the 2017 gubernatorial race which saw the Governor beat Ayacko.
Ayacko would later bounce back through the senate in a recent by election.
