The Chairman of the Kenya Union of Civil Servants in Homa Bay County Tom Akech leads county workers in a demonstration at the gate of Governor Cyprian Awiti’s offices. [James Omoro, Standard]The absence of governor Cyprian Awiti from the public scene at a time residents of Homa Bay County are facing a myriad of challenges is causing concern. Other county workers joined in the strike on Monday this week, also, over the nonpayment of their salaries. Leaders led by the Chief Advisor of the Intergovernmental Authority on Development (IGAD) Kenneth Kambona, Homa Bay Town East MCA Juma Awuor and Homa Bay County Bunge La Wenye Nchi Speaker Walter Opiyo want Governor Awiti to break his silence. “Let the governor come out and pay the workers their dues to enable county government services to resume in Homa Bay,” said Awuor.
