The section of ward representatives called a meeting with the press to disown the statement as an immature approach to addressing a personal problem.
The MCAs further noted that they have no issue with how Governor Ali Korane is running matters at the county offices, the main issue that pushed Mr Dogane to take his lament to Facebook.
