Garissa County Women Representative Hon. Udgoon Siyat has taken a bold stand against Governor Nathif Jama, vowing to hold him accountable for his administration’s alleged misconduct.
Hon. Udgoon has accused the governor of gross negligence, rampant corruption, and shielding a rapist who works as a doctor under his administration.
She emphasized that remaining silent would result in harsh judgment from history.Massive corruption by governors in the larger North Eastern Province (NEP) regions has long been documented.
However, the emergence of strong women leaders like Hon. Udgoon standing up against this traditional looting marks a significant shift in the political landscape.
Her determined stance signals a new era of accountability and transparency in regional governance.
Hon. Udgoon Siyat has accused Governor Nathif and his administration of embezzling public funds while the county’s health system deteriorates.
According to her, the governor has enriched himself and his allies at the expense of the people.
She raised serious concerns about the allocation and expenditure of billions of shillings intended for the county’s development, highlighting the absence of chief officers in various departments. This lack of oversight has allegedly allowed Governor Nathif to act with impunity.
One of the most pressing issues in Garissa County is the persistent water scarcity. Despite substantial funding from both the county and external organizations to GAWASCO (Garissa Water and Sewerage Company), residents continue to face dry taps.
Hon. Udgoon argues, is a direct result of the deeply entrenched corruption within Governor Nathif’s leadership.
The mismanagement of resources intended to alleviate water shortages is a glaring example of the administration’s failure to address the basic needs of its citizens.
“We have hospitals in a grotesque state, lacking essential drugs and amenities. Yet, Governor Nathif has consistently ignored the massive pilferage of public funds under his watch,” Hon. Udgoon stated.
Her criticism underscores the dire condition of the county’s health facilities, which suffer from a lack of essential supplies and proper maintenance.
The neglect of the healthcare system has left many residents without access to necessary medical services.The Women Representative’s outspoken criticism of Governor Nathif reflects a growing frustration among the citizens of Garissa County.
Her commitment to holding the governor accountable is seen as a crucial step towards restoring integrity and trust in local governance.
By challenging the status quo, Hon. Udgoon is paving the way for more transparent and responsible leadership in the NEP regions.
The people of Garissa County and observers across the country will be watching closely. The demand for accountability and good governance is growing stronger, driven by leaders like Hon. Udgoon Siyat, who refuse to remain silent in the face of corruption and mismanagement.
