Governor Nyong’o told to give update on his score card for 100 days in office.

THE County Government of Kisumu under Governor Prof.Peter Anyang’ Nyong’o has been told to give update on the ten things the Governor promised within 100 days after taking over office.

Transform Empowerment for Action Initiative {TEAM} has challenged the County Government to tell the electorates on the progress of the ten point agenda which was to be implemented within the first 100 days in office.

TEAM Executive Director George Collins Owuor says it is prudent if Governor Nyong’o provides an update on how far the ten points have been implemented so far since the 100 days has already elapsed and the public want to know the progress made specifically on his ten-point agenda.

Owuor says that now the County Executive Committee Members have been appointed into the office, it is okay for the executive wing of the County Government of Kisumu to give a report on how far the implementation is.

“This Ten-point agenda was per department and it is now very fair if the executive give an update on how they have been implemented within 100 days as promised by the Governor during his inauguration in August,” Owuor says.

Some of the ten point Agenda Governor Prof. Nyong’o outlined during his inauguration to be tackled within first 100 days in office includes establishment of proper governance in Kisumu City by creating a city management Board and a city Manager, re-location of Kachok dumpsite, clean up the drainage system in the City of Kisumu as well as initiating the improvement of road networks coupled with cleaning up the Lake front in preparation for further infrastructural improvement to facilitate maritime transport, tourism and regional trade.

Others include establishment of the Village councils so as to strengthen devolution, establishing Kisumu County Road Maintenance Teams {KCRMT} to help in maintaining access roads once they are constructed, monthly salaries and clear terms of service for all the Community Health Workers, establish Kisumu Economic and Social Council {KECOSOC}, revival of the sugar industry and sustainable development of the sugar industry and initiating and rejuvenation of the rice industry.

Governor Nyong’os tenth point was to initiate the modernization of Jubilee, Kibuye and Otonglo markets to improve security of traders, create more space for trading, better sanitation, provision of water and easier access to banking services with 100 days.

Efforts to get comment from Director of Communications at the County Government of Kisumu Atieno Otieno proved futile as she did not answer the text message sent to her by this writer.

Owuor at the same time has urged Kisumu County Senator Fred Outa to give an update on the number of legislations he has done in the Senate while representing the people of Kisumu County within the first 100 days in the office.

“We are also asking Kisumu County Senator Fred Outa to give us the updates on how he has performed on the pieces of legislations within the first 100 days as our Senator who represent the interest of the people of Kisumu County”, Owuor adds.

Owuor has urged Senator Outa not to try to interfere with the Executive wing of the County Government of Kisumu, adding that the Senator should stick to his role of representation, Legislation and oversight  the County Government under Prof. Peter Anyang’ Nyong’o.

“It is a fact that one of the roles of the senator of Kisumu County is to play an oversight role and we do not have a problem with that. What should never be there is interest in the executive by the Senator because this will make him not to do his oversight role effectively,” Owuor says.
