Isiolo Deputy Governor Dr. Abdi Issa has been ordered to vacate his office within two days to pave way for ongoing construction works.
In a notice pinned to his office door by O.S. Baslum contractor’s site engineer, the Deputy Governor was asked to vacate his office by May 13, this year without an alternative office designated for him.
The deputy governor could not be reached for comment, but his personal assistant said that only his boss was issued with the notice in a building with 18 other offices.
He added that the County Assembly Speaker Halake Roba’s office and that of Governor Dr. Mohamed Kuti which are adjacent were not served with any notices to move.
The deputy county chief has complained on several occasions of having received cold treatment to the extent that his toilet was brought down by the construction workers last year.
Dr. Issa who complained of operating office without a toilet accused some members of the Executive of working without consulting him on matters pertaining to his workplace.
He had also raised the issue with senior officers in county government, whom he deemed to be undermining him, not knowing the deputy governor holds a constitutional office that demands respect.
When contacted, O. S. Baslum contractor’s site engineer Chris Mwanzui said that his office gave notice to all occupants in the building, including the Governor on February 26, 2020.
The notice pinned at the deputy governor’s office read in part, “the ongoing construction demands you to relocate from this office rooms since it is going to be affected. Kindly relocate by May 13, 2020.”
Eng. Mwanzui further said that the compound should be cleared so that they could complete the work according to tender agreement.
