"Together, with those who share the same goodwill and faith, we aim to make Siaya County great by eradicating corruption and creating a zone of integrity."

The Deputy Governor took a moment to acknowledge his boss, Governor James Orengo, assuring him of his readiness and commitment to working alongside their assembled team to deliver on their ambitious 'It is possible' (Nyalore) manifesto.

"I want to assure my boss, H. E. James Orengo, that I am ready and committed to working with him and the team we assembled to deliver on our 'It is possible' (Nyalore) manifesto." Oduol said.

Oduol emphasized the importance of unity of purpose for both the executive and assembly, urging all members to collaborate in making devolution work for the people of Siaya County.

Expressing his appreciation for the efforts of various stakeholders, Oduol welcomed the support of the ODM party, respected elders, MCAs, professionals, and Siaya residents in facilitating reconciliation between the Governor and himself.

He called for a collective effort to bring about positive change and progress, emphasizing the need to harness the power of unity.

Addressing his supporters directly, Oduol appealed for a celebration of their victory with decorum, reminding them that this triumph belonged to the people of Siaya.

"Let us join forces to bring about positive change and progress," he urged, envisioning a brighter future for the county.
