Editor's Review

"Barasa has taken half and Savula has taken half," Savula. 

Kakamega Deputy Governor Ayub Savula now claims that they have shared half of the county with his boss Governor Fernandes Barasa. 

Speaking in Kakamega County, Savula alleged that he was not a deputy Governor but a Co-governor and they would share power equally. 

"Don't let anyone lie to you that Savula returned to deputyship, we have divided the county government of Kakamega into two. Barasa has taken half and Savula has taken half. Constitutionally, Kamagega has ten ministries. Barasa amechukua ministries tano na mimi nimechukua tano. I am not a deputy governor, I am a co-governor," he stated.

"I have always supported president elect William Ruto. When I did it for the first time openly in 2017, the DCI and KRA were weaponised and used to target me and my family and intimidate me. I will support and work with William Ruto as deputy governor of Kakamega," Savula stated.
