Alego Usonga Constituency Member of Parliament Sam Atandi has publicly criticized Siaya Governor James Orengo over a county project that threatens the existence of the Jaramogi Oginga Odinga University of Science and Technology (JOOUST) satellite campus.

• The Siaya Farmers Training Centre, which hosts JOOUST’s campus, has been earmarked for the construction of new county headquarters.
• MP Atandi revealed his attempts to persuade Governor Orengo to donate the land to the university have failed, leaving JOOUST with no option but to vacate.
• The potential relocation could jeopardize ongoing academic programs and research tied to the campus, affecting thousands of students.
