Bomanyatuta MCA Julius Mutwere called on Nyaribo to come down and appreciate the need to change his leadership tactics.

"We believe those spearheading the talks have gotten the reason why we are after impeaching the governor. We will table the motion. Above all, service delivery has been poor. The governor has failed to hold talks on how to improve service delivery," said Mutwere.

He said the MCAs were not willing to meet the governor. "The chief whip has the ability to unite the leaders from Gusii. We are ready to sit for dialogue if only the governor listens to us. All we need is good services delivered to the people who elected us."

Former Kitutu Masaba MP and ODM National Treasurer Timothy Bosire said the county has had deep-rooted issues touching on accountability and lack of unity.

"This is the moment of accountability. Let our leaders serve the people. All the money has been dispatched to the counties, the leaders should work by providing basic education and improved health services," said Bosire.

Ten years after devolution, Bosire said the county had not made major strides.

"Devolution was for the people. Let us make it work. Let them feel for their parents and children," he said.
