Kiamokama ward member of county assembly (MCA), elected recently in a highly contested by- election has been sworn in.
Malachi Matara of ODM was sworn in by Kisii county assembly temporary speaker Amos Onderi.
Addressing the media outside the assembly, Matara hinted on a difficult task ahead of him owing to a short stint he will spend at the county assembly before the 2022 general elections.
The MCA who replaced the deceased area ward representative, Kennedy Mainya, has close to 17 months to serve the residents.
He commended the voters to having confidence in him and appealed for their cooperation and support to spearhead the ward development agenda.
Matara invited his competitors to join him and share their blue prints to uplift the economic welfare of the ward residents.
Congratulating him, Nyacheki MCA Caleb Ung’uti observed the electorate had high expectations on him and that he should be honest with them.
