BY FLEVIAN GEOFFREY: Suna West Member of Parliament Peter Masara has launched a attack on the Migori County executive, accusing the current administration of stagnating the region’s growth despite receiving billions rom the exchequer.

Speaking at  Bondo-Nyironge Mixed Senior Secondary School during the handover of a new school bus, the lawmaker claimed that Migori residents have been underserved by a leadership that has failed to initiate meaningful development projects since taking office.

Mr Masara challenged the County Government to account for the Ksh 11 billion it receives annually from the National Treasury.

He dismissed the administration’s focus on Early Childhood Development Education (ECDE) centers as insufficient, urging the Governor to look toward “tangible” infrastructure.

“We want to see real projects, not just the ECDE classrooms the Governor keeps talking about,” Masara stated.

“Other counties are delivering massive projects and honoring labor laws, while Migori continues to undermine its workers by paying stipends instead of proper salaries.”

The MP further accused the county leadership of “piggybacking” on National Government initiatives to mask a lack of local innovation and investment.

On the transition Social Health Authority (SHA), Masara defended the national health scheme but blamed the county for its poor implementation at the grassroots level.

He cited Nyamilu Dispensary in Suna West as a primary example, alleging that while the facility receives funds from the health kitty yet patients are still met with a chronic shortage of essential medicines and medical equipment.

The second term lawmaker rallied the Luo community to consider supporting President William Ruto for a second term in 2027.

He pointed to the influx of National Government development projects in Nyanza as a reason to maintain the current partnership with the State.
“I would rather ask the Luo nation to vote for the President based on the developments we are seeing, rather than supporting a leadership that offers no results,” he said.

On political violence, the lawmaker issued a stern warning against the rising tide of political intolerance.

He called on his rivals to cease organizing “hostile politics” and instigating violence at public gatherings.

“Politicians in Migori must stop creating tension and focus on the development needs of our people,” Masara concluded, urging for a transition toward issue-based leadership.
