Kisumu County Governor’s speech did not address matters concerning county security, some members of the Assembly have noted.
Speaking on Wednesday at the assembly while debating on the governor’s speech, Chief Whip Isaiah Onyango said they expected Ranguma's speech to talk on that.
He said they have heard cases of MCAs being attacked within the county, which should not be taken lightly, adding that security matters should be taken seriously.
“Recently, suspects who were arrested in relation to the attack on one of us escaped from where they were being held,” he said.
He further said that MCAs Olum Oloo and Ogossi were last week attacked; saying a lot should be done to ensure security is addressed.
He also lamented that the revenue collection has declined, looking answers to how that should happen instead of increasing due to the new collection systems.
“The former Kisumu City council called revenue of Dh900 million. Between 2013-2014, the Kisumu County collected less Sh700 Million, there is something wrong,” said Onyango.
“We cannot have an acting finance for two to three years without proper revenue collection in the county,” he added.
