How Governor Awiti Can Become the Darling of Homa Bay Residents Again

Homa Bay Governor Cyprian Awiti might have won a Legal battle and in the process maintained his status as Homa Bay Governor but one thing that is clearly out there is the fact that the people that he is leading are not happy with him.

In fact, after the Supreme Court ruling, many residents took to the streets to protests the Courts final verdict with many terming it an electoral coup.

Awiti might be unwell now but even at that, the County Chief still has got a lot of work to do in terms of winning back the people of Homa Bay to his side and delivering on his development projects.

What then should the Governor do in the midst of all these storm?

Well, according to Homa Bay leaders. Awiti should unite with his rivals like Oyugi Magwanga and also deliver on promises and solve Homa Bay residents’ problems.

The leaders who included MPs Peter Kaluma (Homa Bay Town), Millie Odhiambo (Suba North) and Richard Ogindo (Homa Bay assembly majority whip) want a forum where they will discuss development matters in the county.

Kaluma said lack of talks among political leaders in the county had hindered implementation of development projects.

“Now that Awiti’s has been given the mandate to serve the people of Homa Bay till 2022, I urge him to convene a meeting with political leaders and see how they can develop the county,” Kaluma said.

Speaking after the verdict, Magwanga said he is ready to give the Governor time to work.

Magwanga called on his supporters to remain calm.

“I urge my supporters to take heart and support the cause of Supreme Court. Let us give Awiti support to work,” said Magwanga.
