Kisumu governor Peter Anyang' Nyongo has refuted the reports that his relationship with Raila Odinga is in bad shape.
In a statement on X, Nyong'o clarified that he still shared in Raila's ideologies and goodwill for Kenyans.
The issue at hand was the national government's move to lease the Nyanza sugar millers to private investors.
Nyong'o said he was fully behind the move, just like Raila.
The governor, however, called for a procedural and competitive process in the leasing out of the companies.
"Recent media reports have created a false impression that the Rt. Hon. Raila Odinga and I are at odds over the leasing of sugar factories. This is not the case. We are fully aligned on this issue. Our shared position is clear: the government must exit the management of these factories and instead lease them to private investors through a competitive and transparent process," Nyong'o said.
