Executive Director for Transform Empowerment for Action Initiative George Owuor said such a move will derail the oversight role of the MCAs.

Speaking to the press in Kisumu on Thursday, Owuor gave the assembly leadership one week to give out the names of the MCAs who are doing business with the county, saying their actions go against the County Government Act 2012.

Owuor further observed that the MCAs should stick to their roles of making laws for the county government, exercise oversight over county executive organs, debate and approve budget for the county and represent their electorates.

Owuor further called upon Governor Jack Ranguma to organize a dialogue platform for the county residents.

He said the governor must now tell the residents the status of development in the county.

The director added that the funds continue to be disbursed from the national government to the county, yet no tangible development is on the ground.

“The county government must facilitate this dialogue forum so that we evaluate where this county is headed in terms of development,” he said.
