Kisumu Governor Prof Anyang Nyongo has been forced to go the extra mile to ensure the smooth running of his government, even as he continues to receive specialised treatment in the United States.
Nyong'o has been forced to use advanced technological platforms through which he has issued directives on the running of the county government, and at the same time receive briefings from his cabinet.
On Tuesday evening, the Kisumu governor held his first teleconferencing call where he was given updates on development programmed carried out in different departments.
“The briefing was important because the governor needs to be updated that the county is running smoothly even in his absence,” county secretary Olang’o Onudi stated.
