A call by the Cabinet Secretary that Governor Khaemba be jailed over the alleged misuse of Sh 1 billion on the controversial procurement of a private property that the county intends to make a referral hospital has elicited anger from the Governor. "Governor Khaemba should not be seeking a second term but instead he should be serving jail term for misusing public funds," said Wamalwa urging the electorate to reject leaders involved in looting of public coffers. I'm not his wife and he should stop following me," Khaemba furiously reacted to calls by Wamalwa for his prosecution. The County Government purchased the property from a Kitale tycoon at the cost of Sh 185 million and has since then injected over Sh 800 million in its completion.
