Nandi Governor: Give Kenya Kwanza time to fix previous messes

Nandi Governor Stephen Sang has urged critics of the Kenya Kwanza government to exercise restraint, stating that the current administration is diligently working to rectify the challenges and "messes" inherited from the previous regime.

Speaking in Kapseret, Uasin Gishu County, Sang asserted that these critics, were part of the past administration, are not in a position to offer lectures, particularly given the human rights issues currently facing the country.

“We are appealing to the previous administration and its associated elements to simply keep their cool and observe as we resolve the issues they left behind. There's no need for lectures when we are actively fixing the problems our country was burdened with."

The Governor also took aim at the opposition, accusing them of consistently frustrating the government's efforts.

Furthermore, Governor Sang advocated for an investigation into anyone who opposes an independent probe into the killing of teacher and blogger Albert Ojwang', suggesting that their resistance might indicate hidden knowledge regarding the incident.

“Anyone against an independent investigation into Albert Ojwang's murder must be investigated themselves to ascertain what they know about it,” he affirmed.

Ojwang’s death in police custody at Central Police Station, which occurred after a complaint was lodged by Deputy Inspector General Eliud Lagat, has ignited widespread unrest in the capital.  

Protestors are demanding comprehensive investigations into the matter and the resignation of Deputy Inspector General Lagat.
