Siaya Governor Cornel Rasanga has asked netizens to ignore reports alluding that the County offices termed as ‘White House’ has been constructed for Sh2 billion.
Earlier, a poster was circulated on social media indicating that the Siaya White House had been completed and expected to be launched by Raila Odinga after he jets back into the country following surgery.
“The Siaya White House worth Ksh2 billion is nearing completion and will be launched once Raila Odinga jets back. God Bless Siaya County,” read the post.
The Governor has however clarified that the reports are fake.
