The meeting was attended by his deputy Governor Joash Maangi, Kisii county Women representative Mary Otara.
“We have held this meeting with the former councilors which has also been attended by our Senator and Women rep, this goes a long way in showing that we are united, hence, we urge the community to be united so that we can develop this county," added Ongwae.
The meeting which was attended by the former councilors was seeking the county's intervention so that they can be compensated by the national government.
