Mr Ranguma has faced criticism from county leaders over his inaction to remove the dumpsite.
He said the relocation had hit a snag after the French government opposed a proposed landfill in Muhoroni.
Ranguma added that plans to relocate the dumpsite had been frustrated by lack of alternative land.
Kisumu Governor Jack Ranguma has defended his decision not to relocate the Kachok dumpsite, a day after Deputy President William Ruto said it is blocking the construction of a proposed stadium.
Mr Ranguma, who has faced criticism from county leaders over his failure to remove the dumpsite, on Monday said the relocation had hit a snag after the French government opposed a proposed landfill in Muhoroni due to distance.
