Ayacko administration’s poor start in terms of growth has led to reforms and pressure on senior county government officials to perform after locals, particularly on social media, have questioned the scorecard.

“We are doing as best as we can, we had a slow start because of challenges we inherited on huge debts and pending bills, we have paid critical ones,” Ayacko said.
