The Council of Governors (CoG) early today morning unanimously voted to remove Mutahi Kahiga as Deputy Chair of Council of Governor contrary to his purported resignation.
Kakamega County Governor, Ferenadez Barasa has clarified that the Council of Governors held a virtual meeting and unanimously removed him from the position moments before he called a meeting to announce his resignation.
Speaking in Kakamega today during a County executive meeting in Kakamega, Barasa said the Council has disassociated itself from what he termed as divisive and reckless utterances from the Nyeri governor.
“All of us have dissociated ourselves from those unfortunate reckless and insensitive comments which have portrayed him as a tribalist ”
“As we continue to mourn the death of Rt. Hon Raila Odinga, our motivation is to implement his vision, he was a defender of devolution, service to wananchi and always there for all the governors,” he added.
Kahiga has come under intense pressure from leaders and wananchi across the country for unsavory comments he made against the late former Prime Minister at a funeral in Kieni Constituency, with others even calling on him to resign as Nyeri Governor.
