Trans Nzoia Governor George Natembeya is now operating from subcounty offices after a court in Nairobi barred him from accessing his main office at the county headquarters in Kitale.
Yesterday, he was at the Kiminini office where he was expected to hold a cabinet meeting.
“I believe the office is the individual and here, it will be more accessible to the residents," Natembeya said.
“I will respect the court and anyone who wants to go to the office can go look for whatever they want," Natembeya said.
The governor, who is accused of alleged graft, has insisted that the move is a political scheme against him, following the tough political stance he has taken on national issues.
“I was elected by the people of Trans Nzoia and I will continue to do so with dedication. I will not look back because we have to take this county forward," he said.
Natembeya said he will remain focused on delivering on his development agenda.
The governor made a triumphant return to his county after last week’s dramatic arrest in Nairobi and arraignment in court over allegations of graft.
On Tuesday, he made an extensive tour of Western, where he sought to make political capital attracting huge crowds on his way to Kitale.
Natembeya has also vowed to push on with his Tawe political movement, which he says seeks to liberate the Luhya community from economic challenges and political misuse.
He landed at the Kisumu International Airport and was escorted in a long convoy to Vihiga county then to Kakamega, Webuye and Bungoma towns.
“I am happy to be back home and I thank God for everything," Natembeya said. He said despite the challenges, he will not be intimidated.
The governor asked the government to release the youth who were arrested during protests at his home in Milimani during a raid by EACC and police officers.
Several vehicles used by the EACC team were vandalised and tyres deflated.
“Those youth who are arrested are from poor backgrounds and did nothing wrong. They know the truth and that’s why they stood with me," Natembeya said.
“What I have done in the past two years is visible despite the challenges we have faced from political rivals. Nothing will stop us from achieving our dreams."
The arrest last week appeared to have emboldened Natembeya, who has had at political differences with Prime Cabinet Secretary Musalia Mudavadi and National Assembly speaker Moses Wetangula.
The governor accused Mudavadi and Wetangula of misusing the Luhya community for many years.
He said the community had been ignored politically but come the next elections, he will lead alternative leadership to ensure they are on the negotiating table.
