Kakamega Deputy Governor Ayub Savula has claimed that Azimio la Umoja Alliance operatives forced him to join the coalition and support Raila Odinga’s presidential bid in the recently concluded General polls.
“I have not mentioned it to anyone but today I will go public about it. It is the coercion from the Directorate of Criminal Investigation (DCI) that forced me to support the Azimio coalition. They arrested me together with my two wives at night on fictitious charges,” Savula noted while at a funeral in Lugari on Saturday, September 10.
Furthermore, Savula said he should not be referred to as Deputy Governor but as a Co-Governor.
According to Savula, he shares power equally with his boss, Governor Fernandes Barasa.
Moreover, Savula claims that the county government has been divided into two parts. Thence, he will lead one half, while Barasa will lead the other.
“Don’t let anyone lie to you that Savula returned to deputyship, we have divided the county government and the government of Kakamega into two. Barasa has taken half and Savula has taken half,” he said in a tweet on Monday morning.
“Constitutionally, Kakamega has ten ministries. Barasa amechukua ministries tano na mimi nimechukua tano. I am not a deputy governor, I am a co-governor.” He added.
Furthermore, the Kakamega deputy governor stated that he is eager to collaborate with President-elect William Ruto as he prepares to officially take over the Kenyan leadership on Tuesday, September 13.
