Midiwo claims the governor was at State House last Monday and that one of his agenda was to discuss with President Uhuru Kenyatta the fate of the controversial Yalla Swamp, following claims the American firm, Dominion Farms was pulling out. But in a quick rejoinder Rasanga denied visiting State House and termed the allegations as blatant lies. "These are the usual stupid gestures and accusations from my opponents," he told the Standard in a text message. Midiwo alleged that there was a plot by a Mombasa based Maize miller and another company in discussions with the Siaya County Government over the Yalla swamp.
