Homa Bay Governor Cyprian Awiti should be entertainment minister if NASA wins the August 8 polls, opponent Oyugi Magwanga has said.
The Kasipul MP and governor hopeful said Awiti is well suited for the docket because he is a good dancer.
"I want to tell Awiti not to worry once we trounce him come August 8. Baba (Raila Odinga) will create for him an entertainment docket so he can dance for investors. He is a well-known dancer," Magwanga told supporters in Kabondo constituency.
The independent candidate lashed out at Awiti's administration saying it has mismanaged county resources through corruption and failed projects.
He claimed that for almost five years, the county received Sh23.4 billion from the national government and another Sh8 billion in revenue collection "yet there is nothing to show for it".
"We are the only county with a bedbug infested referral hospital where patients still share beds and sheets," he added.
In March,
EACC detectives raided the office and home of a Homa Bay county assembly official over allegations of corruption.
They ejected principal accountant Maurice Amek from his office and proceeded to search his house at Sofia estate in the town.

Magwanga promised a complete overhaul in his first 100 days.
"I have the plight of our people at heart. I will prioritise the health sector by introducing quality and affordable health care," he said.
"Meanwhile, Awiti who has failed terribly will be entertaining investors in Nairobi."
Awiti admitted that his administration has not performed according to people's expectations but promised to form a new team to manage resources once given a second term.
"I know we might have faced some challenges but we were still laying down the foundation. I am seeking another term to finish the projects we initiated and do more.
Others in the county chief race are
Medo Misama (independent) and Tom Alila of Jubilee.
