[Photo| the-star]Kisumu governor Anyang' Nyong'o's political adviser Abala Wanga has criticised Kisumu Senator Fred Outa for linking Nyong'o's administration to corruption. Outa had on Monday accused acting county secretary Olang’o Onudi and Wanga who is the former director of administration of awarding Sh200 million road tenders to their cronies without following procedure.The senator demanded the governor to take action against the two leaders. Outa further pointed out that despite fighting hard for the Kisumu county boss, he was not going to sit back and and watch corrupt individuals interfere with operations.However while addressing the press at a Kisumu hotel on Wednesday, Wanga said Outa's corruption allegations against Nyong'o's government were geared towards the 2022 election where he alleged the senator was indirectly expressing his interest to vie for the county's top seat. "We have established Outa has formed the belief that Nyong’o's is a passing government. He is held hostage by politics of 2022, with the idea that peddling lies will give him an edge or political mileage for his governor ambition," he said.Nyong'o's adviser termed the claims as a lie. "We have established Outa has formed the belief that Nyong’o's is a passing government. He is held hostage by politics of 2022, with the idea that peddling lies will give him an edge or political mileage for his governor ambition," Wanga said.
"That is the genesis of the baseless attacks by him and his dark forces. He is a Senator, not a conspiracy theorist, so he should exercise his duties within the law," he added.
Wanga challenged Outa to table evidence to support his corruption allegations "instead of mudslinging".
