Kisumu County Government, headed by Governor Jack Ranguma has been in the headlines of late, but all for the wrong reasons.
The County Government has been rocked with internal wrangles that have threatened to ground to a halt operations of the county.
The storm was kicked off by Deputy Governor Ruth Adhiambo, who protested at a planned retreat for the executive and the county assembly in Nairobi.
This led to the cancellation of the trip at the eleventh hour, but later the retreat proceeded with Adhiambo boycotting the bonding event.
What later followed is the sacking of five executive members, who have since moved to court to block the vetting of the new members.
As the executive was burning, the county assembly was equally on the news, following the Oduor Ongwen ODM taskforce report on the assembly wrangling.
The embattled Speaker Ann Adul, minority leader Edwin Anayo and a host of MCAs found themselves on the receiving end for doing business with the assembly, thus interfering with their oversight role.
Kisumu County is now at the crossroads, and the only solution is truth, justice and reconciliation.
Governor Ranguma should call for a county dialogue, first to give his score card that has been put on doubt by the recently World Bank report, which ranked the county at number 46, after posting a 1 percent development record.
Calls have intensified in the recent days that Kisumu County be dissolved, but that is not the solution to the problems bedeviling the county.
Dialogue, where leaders and stakeholders share their strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats is the best solution to pull out Kisumu County out of the woods.
The Ethics and Anti Corruption Commission should also move with speed and investigate further the leaders who have been named in corruption related cases.
