Vihiga Govonor Race Hots Up as Engineer Amadi's Road Works Make a Statement

One of Vihiga's best kept secrets is the ambition of one Engineer Josphat Amadi. You only need to ask the local women groups what this son of mulembe has done for them. From generous harambee donations to building churches; his philanthropy spans across Vihiga county and is devoid of ubaguzi.

As residents of  the borders of central maragoli and Lugaga-Wamuluma wards recently came to know, if Engineer gets wind of the suffering of the people, he is more than ready to chip in. Unconfirmed reports indicate that the good Engineer took it upon him to cover the nakedness of the county government of  Rev Akaranga by footing the bill for road works improving Ivindizi-Womulalu-Igakala feeder road

We understand that Boda boda guys are ecstatic. We also understand that governor Akaranga and aspirants Otichillo- MP Emuhaya and Vihiga MP Yususf Chanzu, are a worried lot. Watch this space!
