According to police officers who have seen his statement, the governor reportedly said he had told Sharon to keep the pregnancy and was ready to take care of her and the baby.
Sharon, according to the police, had even asked to be bought a house in Nairobi. But the governor was ready to buy land or a house for her in Rongo.
Sharon's family has previously said Obado had a sexual relationship with their daughter, who was found dead in Kodera Forest last Wednesday.
The seven-month pregnant woman had been raped and stabbed eight times: thrice in the neck, four times in the back and on the left side of her abdomen.
Yesterday, Obado, called a media conference in Nairobi where he once again denied any involvement in the murder of Sharon. He was flanked by his wife Hellen, daughter Evaline and son Jerry.
"I ask all agencies involved to speed up investigations so the killers are brought to book as quickly as possible," he said in his short address to journalists. He did not take questions.
On Tuesday, Obado's lawyer Cliff Ombeta confirmed that his client had a love affair with Sharon.
"When the photos were circulating in social media long before this, it was not a secret even the people in the county knew about it...there was a relationship," he said.
Speaking to KTN news on Wednesday, Ombeta said Obado's relationship was on and they cannot refute the claims.
"It is a normal thing for people to have a moment of weakness but speaking of murder no," he said.
