Homa Bay Governor Cyprian Awiti has returned to work after a two-month absence, citing a stern warning to his County Executive Committee (CEC) members.
Awiti fell ill on June 27, shortly after distributing bursary cheques worth Ksh.100 million at Orero Boys High school in Rangwe Sub County.
On August 29, 2019, Awiti presided over a swearing-in ceremony of seven members of the newly-created Homa Bay County Municipality Board, where he fired a warning at county ministers who he accused of sleeping on the job.
“I have no room for lazy CEC members! You have to change your methods of service delivery from office to fieldwork so that your impact can be felt on the ground,” Awiti said.
He threatened to assess county executives in terms of service delivery, putting his legacy at risk if they fail to improve.
