You must deliver to the people of Homa Bay, MP Kaluma tells Governor Awiti.

A MEMBER of Parliament from Homa Bay County has told the area Governor Cyprian Awiti that he must deliver to the people of Homa Bay County.

Homa Bay Town Member of Parliament Peter Opondo Kaluma says that Governor Awiti has no any other option but to deliver services to the people of Homa Bay as he promised during his campaigns while seeking to be re-elected during the last year’s General election.

Addressing the press at Tom Mboya Labour College in Kisumu on the sidelines of a Parliamentary Committee on Justice and Legal Affairs meeting with members of the public to get their view on the two thirds gender rule, Kaluma said the elected leaders in Homa Bay are purely divided on the issue of service delivery and not politically.

“We are not divided politically but on the issue of service delivery. We are in ODM to stay and all the elected leaders must deliver,” he says. 

He says it was a burden campaigning for Governor Awiti to be re-elected hence he must now deliver to make their work easier, adding that it has taken too long to see anything tangible in terms of service delivery.

Kaluma says there are a group of leaders from Homa Bay county who believe that there is too much corruption where a lot of public funds which should be used to do development, adding that they don’t need corruption in Homa Bay County.

 Kaluma is of the view that the buck stops with the Governor Awiti as the appointing authority to sack those officers who are deemed to be corrupt in his Government.

“It becomes the obligation of the Governor as the appointing authority to remove the corrupt individuals in his Government. It is also his obligation to ensure that the people he is working with are not corrupt and if there is anyone who is corrupt, we will go and evict them from their offices,” Kaluma adds.

Kaluma sentiments comes barely a few days after a group known as Homa Bay for Change Movement issued a press statement in Kisumu last week while asking Governor Awiti to sack some of the cartels believed to be allegedly siphoning public funds meant for development in Homa Bay County.

The group led by its Chairman Obonyo Mireri and Secretary Achila Gogo wants Governor Awiti to act immediately and sack some senior officials in his administration whom they have accused of engaging in corrupt activities that has made the county to lose huge sums of money through alleged corrupt deals.
