Nyamira Governor John Nyagarama has been subjected to criticism following appointment of his son to a senior government post.
Momanyi Nyagarama, was appointed Director Public Administration, a move that did not go down well with a substantive population.
"This is a disappointment and it is a serious breach of confidence. Nyamira is not a monarch unless someone want to make it such," said Jacob Abere.
Nelson Ondieki said: "There is nothing good can ever come from him. It is just him and and family. This is sad."
This is not the first time Nyagarama is accused of nepotism given that at some point two years ago, he was accused of awarding lucrative market tender to one of his sons.
Efforts to get comment from county government authorities were fruitless with top county officials among them Communication Department declining to comment.
The governor is currently reconstituting his government despite the ongoing court petition challenging his victory.
