They said it is embarrassing when their leaders ignore to attend the national celebrations organised by the county government.
“We have seen how our leaders are, they ignored to attend the event at Gusii stadium we need them to apologise because none sent a reason to explain why they refused to attend,” said Mokua a resident
“We need them to work with the current county leadership and stop political differences and do development for us,” said Mokua.
They called their leaders to come out and tell their plans in developing their constituencies but if they continue with the same behavior may be they won’t be elected in 2017.
