# WAJIR_GAVANA DENIES EACC PROBE REPORT Wajir, Kenya: Wajir County Governor Ahmed Abdullahi has said he will not be intimidated by some local politicians who want to derail his agenda for development. Abdullahi, who has just returned from the US where he attended a forum with other governors, said there was a systemic campaign by known politicians to besmirch him and his administration, a move he vowed will not cow him. The governor said recent media reports that he was facing abuse of office charges were baseless, lies and pure propaganda by his opponents who lost in the last General Election. The story seemed to have indicated that I was facing abuse of office charges, yet there are no such things, Abdullahi told The Standard in an interview. In the story, Mr Mohamed Abikar who claims to be the chairman of an anti- graft forum in Wajir is reported to have accused the governor of gross abuse of office and urged the President to dissolve Wajir County Government. Abdullahi said the people of Wajir know who is behind the smear campaign but vowed to continue working for those who elected him as governor. At times in politics, when you share the platform with some people, they can be intrinsically evil and they will always want to disrupt your agenda but in the fullness of time, we will expose them, he added. He further noted the smear campaign was being funded by a local politician who is determined to undermine his administration. #stranded.
