The Ford Kenya Deputy party leader noted that he had given Kisii County Commissioner Godfrey Kigochi a two-day ultimatum to have the matter sorted out.
“We have sought an address from the County Commissioner and he has promised us that water will be sprinkled on the road in the next two days.
“We are not begging for such services. If he will not have fulfilled his promise within the agreed period, I will strip naked,” remarked Onyonka.

The company’s workers had barricaded the road to show their frustrations after County officials had arrested and detained ten of them.
A running battle that had ensued between the laborers and the county askaris resulted to seven of them being injured and were rushed to hospital for treatment.
Reports alleged that some local leaders had targeted the company over claims that it had refused to employ residents to work on the project.
