Photos shared from the event showed a number of governors in attendance, but Natembeya was notably missing — a detail that quickly sparked discussions among Kenyans online.
In a statement shared through his official platforms, Governor Natembeya clarified that he did not attend the State House meeting because he was overseeing key county projects.
He revealed that he spent the day inspecting ongoing construction works at the Kitale Stadium, a flagship county infrastructure project currently under development.
