Kakamega Deputy Governor Ayub Savula now claims that he is a co-Governor and not a deputy to his boss
Savula says he shares power equally with his boss, Governor Fernandes Barasa.
According to Savula, the county government has been divided into two parts: he will lead one half, while Barasa will lead the other.
He wants to be referred to as a co-governor.
“Don’t let anyone lie to you that Savula returned to deputy-ship, 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, Kamagega has ten ministries. Barasa amechukua ministries tano na mimi nimechukua tano,”
On Sunday Savula claimed that Azimio la Umoja coalition operatives forced him to join the coalition and support Raila Odinga’s presidential bid
“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,” he said at a funeral in Lugari on Saturday.
Savula stated that he is eager to collaborate with President-elect William Ruto.
