Kisumu Governor Anyang' Nyong'o on Friday, May 9, dismissed reports of a rift between him and former Prime Minister Raila Odinga, particularly regarding the plan to lease sugar factories.

Through a statement, Nyong'o asserted that his position on the issue was in line with that of Raila, noting that both of them supported the government's plan to lease key sugar factories to private investors.

However, Nyong'o seemingly highlighted the bone of contention, calling for a fair and competitive process in the plan to lease the factories. "Recent media reports have created a false impression that the Rt.

Hon. @RailaOdinga and I are at odds over the leasing of sugar factories.
