Prof. Kutima observed that Kakamega is now a hub for benchmarking activities by other counties due to the warm and cordial working relations between Governor Oparanya and himself, a factor that has ensured all efforts are directed towards service delivery to the people. “The Governor is a very respectful leader and a true servant of the people who respects both seniors and juniors at the workplace, an attribute that continues to guarantee steady implementation of his manifesto,” said Prof. Kutima.

“Some people around here think I am not aware of where I’m headed to and are quick to dismiss my steps as uncalculated; they will be surprised,” said the deputy governor amid cheers from the congregation.

Later the deputy Governor visited Musingu High School where he called for calm from the students and the community at large after an early Sunday morning fire broke out in a recently commissioned dormitory.
