Speaking at the Cardinal Otunga Girls High School during the official boarding of the new boarding built by the Kenya Pipeline Company Institute, the Wakoli accused Natema of misleading the public and avoiding accountability.
“As chairman of the committee, I will make sure Natembeya is responsible for the way he runs things in Trans Nzoia. It’s time to get the answers,” Said the Color.
He wanted Kenyans to monitor the sessions via TV.
“Make sure your television is on. he added.
The Laoli also made a complex religious statement by comparing Natembeya to Barnabas, the Bible man who was released while Jesus was crucified.
“Barnabas is here in Trans Nzoia. It is our time to crucify and take him out of the way,” Said the Color.
The senator criticized Natembeya for visiting various parts of western Kenya and organizing political meetings in other counties, accusing him of blaming others rather than solving problems in his county.
“Leaders from outside Bungoma think they can come, do The processionand tell us how to promote development, while their counties are left behind as Bungoma continues, ” he added.
Wakoli defended the performance of the Bungoma government citing major projects including the new immigration office for ease of service, sixth level hospital, Matulo Airport, Kanduyi Airport, housing plan, and industrial conservation.
He said the projects would increase the Bungoma economy and provide better employment to local residents.
Why was Natembeya visiting western Kenya?
The rites of the Lakoli were made after a recent visit to Natembeya in Kakamega, Vihiga and Bungoma counties.
