He said that Uku Company Limited had brought in complains about the management of the park as the previous park managers had refused to hand over the park to the company. The County Technical Advisor Mr. Morris Tambua Severino said that according to the design of the contract that was awarded to the company it was clearly clarified that the winner of the town cleaning will be responsible for cleaning the town, town drainage management, beautification of the town by planting trees and flowers, management of public toilets in the town and the they will also manage all the parks and parking yard in the county. He further said that Uku Company won the contract and it’s the company’s responsibility to carter for the daily management of the park according to the contract awarded to them. The Company Manager Mr. George James stressed that all over the world parks are properties of the government and that the company accepted the scope of the contract because they knew that the park is a property of the government and is an income generating asset. The park managers said that the county authorities had never called the park managers for a single meeting ever since and they have just decided to privatize the park management to a company. He further said that the park employs more than 50 people and if taken from them the survival of all the people working there will be at stake. They finally said they have acquired a license for operating this year from the county wondering what is going to happen with the license they acquired. Meanwhile the County Legal Advisor Molona Morris said that the basic of the contract given to Uku Company is part of development and everything including the contract was coated from the local government act. He finally said that government works to serve her people and for the reason that the government currently is lacking funds and have decided to privatize the management of the park. Yambio County Executive Director Mr. Daniel Mathew Waure stressed that the park belongs to the county and urged Uku Company to consider employing those who had been working in the park because they have good experience in managing the park. Park managers vowed not to let the company take full control of the park and the county councillors came out with a resolution to charge Uku Company with the responsibility of the park.
