Siaya Governor Cornel Rasanga has claimed that a strange illness caught him just a few days after settling in office as a governor after the 2013 elections.
Speaking during the NASA rally in Kakamega yesterday, the Governor revealed how he contacted the ailment.
"Just three weeks after I began my work as a Governor, I developed a very strange illness that I had to visit a religious healer for consultation".
"I was amazed when the healer told me that the cause of my illness is a portrait that hanged on the walls of my office and I had to remove it if I was to get any better", he added.
Hanging on to the instructions of his consultant, Mr. Rasanga went to his office and immediately removed the portrait, throwing it outside the window as that was the only way the disease would not return according to the physician.
It is common place to find the portraits of national leaders especially Presidents or Prime Ministers hanging on walls of most if not all government offices in most parts of the world.
The ODM politician then replaced the portrait with another portrait of his party leader Raila Odinga and claimed that he immediately recovered while the strange illness has never returned.
"I encourage all Governors here to hang Baba's portrait (referring to Mr. Odinga) and not the other one in their offices if they to secure victory in the elections and have peace", he concluded.
