We shall restore sanity in county leadership- Governor Natembeya
Transnzoia governor George Natembeya has pledged to ensure raft reforms in his administration to restore confidence in the county leadership while delivering on his development pledges.
Addressing the audience at the 59th Mashujaa Day Celebrations, county chapter at Kwanza Girls secondary school, Natembeya said he will not condone corruption in his reign.
He affirmed that he will deliver his promises as outlined in his campaign manifesto adding that it was already work in progress.
The governor disclosed that his negotiations with the Kenya Railways for a parcel of land within Kitale town to provide space for the establishment of a market had yielded fruits.
“Although we had requested for seven acres, we eventually got two and a half acres which we shall use to set up a modern market that will provide additional space for our traders in town,” he pointed out.
He also cautioned health workers against stealing medical supplies and selling them across the borders to Uganda saying those found to engage in the malpractice will face dire consequences.
The county chief disclosed that he had already engaged potential investors willing to establish a maize milling plant that will ensure value addition for the locally produced cereals.
He offered tax holidays to entrepreneurs willing to venture in value addition so that they can have ease of growing up their businesses from scratch.
Natembeya urged MCAs to speedily approve his nominees for the positions of County Executive Committee Members (CECMs) so that progress can be realized.
Deputy Governor Philomena Philomena Kapkory, County Commissioner Mbogai Rioba, county senator Allan Chesang, county assembly deputy Speaker Obed Mahanga, deputy majority leader Kefa Were, chief whip James Mwangi and Sitatunga MCA Simon Murei were among the leaders who accompanied the governor at the celebrations.
