Obado was supposed to jet to Rwanda on Tuesday to represent the Council of Governors in the African Green Revolution Forum (AGRF) that ends tomorrow.
It is not clear whether the decision to cancel the trip was informed by Sharon’s tragic end hence the desire to be around to clear his name after being adversely mentioned in an alleged romantic relationship with the deceased.
Amidst the storm, the governor has kept silent and missing in action as public pressure piles on the police to bring those involved in the gruesome murder to justice.
The governor has instead opted to react to the weighty matter through his Press Secretary Nicholas Anyuor.
Anyuor has distanced the Migori County boss from all wrong-doings, maintaining that “associating the governor with this incidence (the gruesome murder) could be a political ploy meant to tarnish his name”.
