State House Aide Hits Out at Senator Cherargei for Criticising Him in Parliament

State House Aide Hits Out at Senator Cherargei for Criticising Him in Parliament: Former Governor Josphat Nanok, who serves as a State House Aide, on Sunday lashed out at Nandi Senator Samson Cherargei for questioning his leadership during his tenure in Turkana by citing incompetence.

Cherargei stated,”Turkana is a hardship area yet Ksh110 billion cannot be accounted for for ten years. There is hunger, there is insufficient water, and irrigation projects have collapsed,”

“Somebody signed Ksh200 million to build a governor’s residence that does not exist. Ksh1.5 billion was built for guest quarters, Ksh82 million was allocated to AC that is not functioning, Ksh6.5 million was made into a generator that does not exist. Just like other senators, we fight here to allocate money to the counties but we don’t see value for that money,” he added.

Cherargei expressed concerns that the Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission had not done anything about the accusations: “The EACC is doing nothing about it, the culprit is working and is in the protected area.”

In a tweet, Nanok termed the utterances by the senator as ‘falsehoods, a hate and dirty campaign against my person and performance as Governor of Turkana (2013-2022).’

“I dare him to repeat them outside Parliament. By the way, I am not hiding, I commute daily to work from home,” he responded to Cherargei
