Silas Jakakimba resigns as Governor Wanga’s advisor

 

Ex-Raila Odinga's aide and advisor Silas Jakakimba has resigned as legal advisor for Homa Bay Governor Gladys Wanga.

In his resignation, Jakakimba who was appointed to the position in October 2022 says his new move was prompted by increasing unforeseen commitments.

"Whereas we still believe in this journey and give our word to continue supporting the Governor to deliver on her mandate - and due to emerging and increasing commitments earlier unforeseen, I have today tendered my resignation from the said office, with immediate effect," part of his resignation letter states.

He however expressed his confidence in Governor Wanga's leadership and affirmed his support to the county boss.

"I take this opportunity to reiterate my personal and our people’s continued belief in the incredible governance style that Gov. Wanga has grounded in Homa-Bay. The Governor can count on our unending and unconditional support in her obviously tireless efforts to see the devolution enterprise work for the people of Homa-Bay," the letter read in parts.

In March, Jakakimba officially resigned from the Raila Odinga Secretariat, where he served as advisor.

The long-serving aide of former Prime Minister Raila Odinga announced his exit through an 'appreciation' letter addressed to the ODM party leader on Friday, March 17, 2023.

Jakakimba's resignation becomes the biggest hint yet of his imminent move to President William Ruto's Kenya Kwanza coalition.   BY K24 NEWS
