His Uasin Gishu counterpart governor Jackson Mandago has fired a sub-county admin for posting on Facebook comments that were meant to castigate Members of County Assembly (MCAs) who were on a ‘wasteful’ trip to Kisumu.
In his post, Philip Kimutai Biwott accused the MCAs of enriching themselves with public funds, by receiving an allowance of Ksh14,250 per day.
“Allowances. Kisumu is 14,250 per day. It is called per diem. In government when you are broke you create a workshop, training, seminar, interrelationships etc. to cover up (sic),” posted Biwott.
