Leaders in Kakamega County are sharply divided over the escalating feud between Governor Fernandes Barasa and his predecessor, now Cabinet Secretary for Cooperative Development, Wycliffe Oparanya.
The dispute stems from the recent ODM County chairmanship elections, where Barasa’s allies accused Oparanya of sponsoring Lugari MP Nabii Nabwera to challenge the governor in a bid to weaken his leadership and erode ODM’s influence in Kakamega.
