Bungoma County assembly health committee is crying foul over what it terms as sabotage from the house leadership and the County Governor Wycliffe Wangamati’s interference in their mandate execution.
Led by the committees chairman Hon George Makari, the members said they had summoned Bungoma County referral hospital superintendent and other signatories who were involved in the alleged misappropriation of over six million shillings meant to combat corona virus in the County.
He said they were perturbed to learn that the committee secretariat were ordered not to appear to facilitate the committees grilling exercise saying definitely the house leadership was involved in the whole saga.
Hon Makari said it was important to have the committee carry out its mandate saying the residents at the grass root level had faith in them before electing them and they are supposed to perform their over sight duty without failure.
Lwandanyi Mca Tony Khaoya expressed his concern saying its evidently clear that Bungoma County Governor has a hand to do with the sabotage saying they are using the Corona virus rules to shield the truth.
“The appetite of looting in the County is very high and it s unfortunate that ordinary citizens have to give out everything they have to access services at the hospital yet someone comes to loot” he lamented
Bungoma township Mca Joseph Maguda adding that the County executive has decided to sideline them in carrying out important County activities saying it has created a bad working relationship.
Kibingei Mca Aggrey Mulongo threatening to initiate an impeachment motion in the house against the speaker saying he has failed to provide an independent leadership that is expected of him.
