Busia County governor Sospeter Ojaamong has said his journey to leave a legacy upon expiry of his second and final term in 2022 as per the constitution, will start this week.
Speaking at St Anthony Chakol Parish Catholic Church, during a Mass and the launch of the second Liturgical Album by the Parish Choir, Ojaamong said his government will kick-start activities aimed at improving service delivery.
Ojaamong said county governments are expecting funds from the National Treasury, to facilitate the completion of incomplete projects and other activities to benefit county residents.
"We have Sh8 million which was set aside for women small scale traders. Other funds that will be disbursed includes Higher Education Loans Board, Agricultural Development, Cooperative and Bursary Funds. My government is not for gambling. I am delivering services to 'wananchi' based on my campaign manifesto," said Ojaamong.
On his part, Teso South MP Geoffrey Omuse, said he had requested the intervention of the Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission (EACC) to audit the CDF books of accounts.
Omuse said he was prompted to seek EACC intervention due to failure by her predecessor, Mary Emaase, to pay students sponsored by the Fund at KCA Amagoro Campus amounting to Sh10 million.
"I have pleaded with the campus administration to readmit the students as a solution was being founded," he said.
Also present were Busia County Assembly Speaker Bernard Wamalwa, Nangina MCA John Obwogo and Members of the County Assembly Moses Ouma (Amukura Central) and John Oganga (Marachi West) said they wouldl wait for direction from NASA whether to honour the elections or no.
