Nyamira Governor John Nyagarama has dismissed claims that the region is divided.
According to Nyagarama, a section of Kisii County leaders have been seeking support from Nyamirans to join the so-called Omogusii unity initiative, a move he rubbished.
The Omogusii unity initiative was mooted at Otamba in Kisii County, but leaders in Nyamira have accused their Kisii counterparts of sidelining the county.
Addressing residents in Kitutu Masaba constituency, Nyagarama accused the leaders of using the initiative for their own political gain for the 2017 elections, arguing that Nyamira is already united.
“Residents in my county are united and are not divided as others think but there are some leaders masquerading to unite residents but they are not,” said John Nyagarama .
He called on the residents to work with the county to foster more development in the county for their benefit in future.
“Development is key. Residents please cooperate with the county government to promote development,” added Nyagarama.
