Busia Residents Call for Resignation of Former Governor Ojamong Over Graft

By Our Reporter 

Hundreds of youths today thronged Busia town, calling for the immediate resignation of former Busia Governor Sospeter Ojaamong from his post as NEPAD chair.

In a gazette notice dated June 14, President Ruto appointed Ojaamong as Chairperson of the NEPAD/APRM Kenya Governing Council. The demonstrators accused Ojaamong of engaging in fraudulent activities during his tenure as governor, including an alleged Ksh 8 million graft case flagged by the EACC.

“Ruto must sack him immediately; he is corrupt and unfit for public office,” the residents demanded. “He stole Ksh 8 million of public funds. For Ruto to redeem his government, he must sack Ojaamong. You cannot reward a thief.”
