Days after IEBC declared Simba Arati as the new Kisii governor, and later sworn in, he is already showing he is ready to work. Arati has ordered drivers and their vehicles to convene at Gusii Stadium in a bit to count the vehicles after what he terms as corruption in the transport department.
Speaking at the Agricultural Training college in Kisii, Arati appeared enraged. He noted that out of the only 256 registered vehicles only 82 are functional. He further added that he is ready to dig into the matter as there is embezzlement of funds in the county.
He further stated that no one will be left out if found guilty of the offenses committed. Reports show that Kisii county has been losing up to 6 million to ghost workers who have been stealing from the public. Arati also held a separate meeting with chief officers and committee executives at the Farmers Resource Centre.
Arati stated
,’ I expected to see 256 drivers who I called here, this is sickening, how else can we explain? are some drivers passengers in those vehicles?
‘I need answers from these departments, someone must be in jail, I saw DCI here, you have been joking with the lives of these drivers, eating insurance money, we won’t allow it,’
Arati shocked many as he emerged from Dagoretti North where he had served the people and won the Kisii gubernatorial seat. He won under the Orange Democratic Movement( ODM). He further instructed All MCA’s who have been hiding vehicles from the county to return them immediately.
