Former Governor Lee Kinyajui has bid goodbye to Nakuru residents after skipping the swearing-in ceremony of his successor Susan Kihika on Thursday, August 25.
Kinyanjui said he was grateful for the opportunity he was given to serve the people of Nakuru.
"It is so in life that the beginning of one thing marks the end of another. It has been a great privilege serving the people of Nakuru as their Governor.
"As we turn another leaf, we wish the people of Nakuru the very best.
"Nothing gives me greater pleasure than a better Nakuru. We look forward to it," he said in a statement.
Lee thanks staff
He further thanked his staff and the County Assembly who worked with him for five years.
"I thank all the people who walked the journey with me. From staff, and County Assembly to external partners, your contribution is highly appreciated. We celebrate your patriotism.
"As it is, we must all continue building the nation in our respective portfolios. We owe it to the next generation," he stated.
Lee had said he would challenge Kihika's win in court claiming there were massive irregularities during election day.
