Kisii County gubernatorial hopefuls Senator Chris Obure and South Mugirango MP Manson Nyamweya's political hostility took a new twist after engaging in a war of words.
Mr Nyamweya who has opposed calls to join Omogusii unity, hit out at those legislators who visited State House saying their actions are driven by selfish interests.
"It is not the role of the President to allocate resources. The budget is done in parliament, not State House," Nyamweya said.
In a quick rejoinder, a seemingly irritated Senator Obure and Kitutu Chache MP Jimmy Angwenyi hit back at the lawmaker saying that State House visits are purely driven by their urge to develop the county.
"Let him come clean and tell us how much we were paid to attend that meeting. He should stop tarnishing our names by claiming that we were paid to go to State House. We will continue to engage every stakeholder," an irritated Obure was quoted by the Star.
On his part, Jimmy Angwenyi said that they will continue going to State House to engage with the government for development and that they won't accept any kind of distraction from Nyamweya.
