In the photos posted on social media platforms on Sunday, October 15, Orengo is seen addressing a group of people, with a tall light mast illuminating the centre.
Governor, a former Senator, said in a statement that the project will improve security and enable businesses to thrive within the market.
“Commissioning of high mast light at Uhuru Center in Ugenya Constituency this evening. This light installation will improve security and ensure more business hours for our men and women in the market and centre as a whole,” Orengo clarified.
However, the launch rubbed some Kenyans the wrong way, questioning why the governor was busy performing the duties of a Member of the County Assembly (MCA).
“An MCA should have commissioned this. We would like to see you commissioning piped water projects, Hi-Tech medical equipment, county road projects, fish storage, and processing plants, and a mango juice factory in Rarieda,” Allan Odour simplified.
On the other hand, Siaya County has also hit the headlines after the Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission – EACC raised the red flag over the misappropriation of about Ksh400 million.
Furthermore, other Twitter users went on to advise the governor to launch airports and factories for production despite being new in office.
“Jim you are new in office but to be honest it’s 2022 this should be done by the village elder, not even your MCA’s should be launching such. You are the president of a semi-autonomous region launching airports and factories for production is something I would strongly advise,” Kenyan Ink Stated.
