Nyamira County Assembly Deputy Speaker Duke Omoti has dismissed claims that there are high levels of corruption in the region.
According to Omoti, local leaders are bribing EACC officials to taint the name of the Nyamira County government.
“EACC should stop lying to the people of Nyamira that the level of corruption in the county is at the peak. I wish to assure locals that the county government has fought corruption and currently there is no corruption in the region,” he said.
He accused EACC commissioner Rose Macharia for listening to Governor Nyagarama’s rivals who are desperate to lead Nyamira people.
“Governor Nyagarama’s rivals to be more specific the Jubilee politician Walter Nyambati should give the county government humble time to deliver.
"Nyambati should know the people of Nyamira will not follow his divisive politics he is still playing yet we finished elections last year," he added.
He noted that MCAs are committed to ensure county funds are allocated to development projects which the locals will give priority.
