Ager downplayed claims about the governor's health on social media. "Those allegations do not hold water and I would not wish to even discuss them. A lot has been said, which do not deserve any response," he added.
Ager said Nyong'o was now focusing on delivering election pledges to the electorate and dismissed reports by the Controller of Budget which indicated that the county spent zero per cent on development in the first quota of the current financial year.
He explained that Kisumu spent or committed Sh358 million, out of the Sh1.1 billion on development.
Ager announced that the Nyong'o's administration has signed an agreement with contractors which will see them clear work within agreed time, and get payment within 60 days of handing over, or face specific penalties which includes surcharging them.
