The governor had earlier made it clear that his County would not accept the teacher transfer that is a directive by Education Cabinet Secretary Dr.Fred Matiang’i. “Under no circumstances shall the Bungoma Community that I am a part of and serve as Governor accept the new principals in those schools," he said. "We can't accept a principal from a school with a 5.8 mean score coming to manage our 8.9 mean score school", he said. He asked Dr. Matiang'i to promote the existing Deputy Principals of the schools if he can't get teachers who match those he is taking away. Speaking about the Nzoia Sugar Co woes, Governor Wangamati revealed that he had scheduled a meeting with officials from Ministry of Agriculture in Nairobi to negotiate the planned privatization of the sugar miller.
