Section of youth from Busia threaten to recall Okiya Omtatah
Busia Senator Okiya Omtatah reacts after riot police officers detained him among other protesters demonstrating against what they say is a wave of unexplained abductions of government critics, along the Aga Khan walk in downtown Nairobi, Kenya December 30, 2024.
According to Ms Okotsi, Mr Omtatah holds the significant authority to scrutinize county governments to ensure that resources are prudently utilised and also champion policies that would uplift the lives of ordinary citizens.
Youth from Busia County have faulted their Senator Okiya Omtatah, accusing him of failing to prioritise the mandate he was given by the people of Busia, but instead focusing on national politics and advancing his interests.
Under the umbrella of the Busia Youth Caucus, the young men and women, who addressed the press in Busia town, called on Mr Omtatah to address issues affecting the residents of Busia and hold the county government accountable so that funds allocated to the devolved unit are properly utilised for the benefit of the people within Busia county.
