Several first-term county bosses in the Rift Valley region have found themselves on the receiving end from their electorate over their failure to keep their pre-election vows.
County bosses in the region are also leading unhappy residents, who have raised concerns about stagnated development projects, despite being allocated colossal sums of money.
Such include Baringo's Stanley Kiptis, who residents are saying is always out of office instead of improving on the failures of his predecessor Benjamin Cheboi.
In Nandi, Stephen Sang' has been accused of failing to reorganize education and infrastructure two years down the line, after making similar promises during the campaigns.
Residents also claim that the health sector is ailing due to lack of drugs and have raised concerns about several stalled projects, yet the county failed to utilize Sh2.5 billion the previous financial year.
“We fail to understand why it has taken the governor too long to reorganise education, health, infrastructure, among other sectors, which hurt the delivery of goods and services to residents,” Mary Too from Mosoriot said.
However, Sang' says that work is in progress as planned and the lamentations are the doing of his political detractors.
In West Pokot, governor John Lonyangapuo is yet to defeat corruption in county tender allocation as was promised when he took over from Simon Kachapin in 2017.
He has since invited the Ethics and Anti Corruption Commission (EACC) to do the job.
