"When the polls come, let us change the pattern. Let us look at the people who have fought for devolution.

"We went for managers but they have disappointed us...they have the skills to loot more than politicians," he explained.

"I did enough in Rarieda but you still went ahead and told me to carry away the roads were removable, I would have carried them away as I did with the mobile clinics," he stated.

Tuju added that he has been reluctant to initiate any projects in his home turf for fears that it may be interpreted as campaigns for the Siaya governorship come 2022.
