KISUMU MCA DEFENDS HIMSELF ACCUSATIONS OF SABOTAGING COUNTY ASSEMBLY



BY OMARI AKELLO
A MEMBER of Kisumu County assembly who joined traders in a demonstration to the County assembly offices in protest of a bill to relocate them from Oyile market has defended his action after he was roundly castigated by other MCAs.
The Milimani market ward representative Phillip Edwin Anayo,has maintained that his decision to join traders in the demonstration was informed by the fact that the traders had not been offered an equal alternative site as opposed to claims that he’s out to sabotage the assembly resolution.
Mr.Anayo while speaking to press in Kisumu town said he was fully behind the idea of face-lifting Kisumu town but called on the Assembly to consider the welfare of traders before implementing such decision.
The assembly had passed to push the traders from Oyile market in City center to the newly constructed Kowino market in remote Manyatta estate.
‘’There are plans by few individuals to grab the market place and we will not allow that to happen because we were electing to protect the people’’ said Anayo.

OBAMA CLAIMS FORMER KENYAN PRESIDENT MOI ASSASSINATED HIS DAD IN A STAGE MANAGED ROAD ACCIDENT



BY JARED OPIYO
THE family of the US president Barrack Obama,has made a sensational  claim implicating former Kenyan President Moi for assassinating  Obama senior in a stage managed fatal road accident.

The family further states that the former president Moi’s  regime could have been led into assassinating  the black economist,after he was falsely associated with the abortive coup attempt.

In the book, The Rise and Life of a true African leader, authored by President Obama’s brother, Malik Obama alonside Frank Oyoo, the family suspects that the late Jaramogi Oginga’s political infighting with the government of the day, could have been one of the theories behind his death as most luo scholars were believed to be involved in the coup.

‘’That was mistakenly misunderstood then, Barrack never knew anything concerning the military takeover’’, emphasized Mr. Hawa, the sister to the late senior Obama who described him as a true democrat.

According to the book printed in the United States Of America, Obama, who was arguably a successful drunkard, had not takeN alcohol in the last three days when prior to his death,following alleged brutal freak accident few meters from the convergence of Ngong road and Elgon Road in Kenyan’s capital city of Nairobi.

Eyewitnesses who recorded statement with the traffic department said Obama while cruising in  his imported Chevrolet pickup, in an attempt to avoid head-on collision with a speeding salon car, veered off the road and hit a tree, killing him instantly.

The family is baffled with the fact that, Obama never sustained serious injuries at the time of the accident despite the, ugly carnage.

''What was the motive of car hitting the tree trunk?Then there was lack of injuries to kill him instantly.And who?or what was the motive? Could it be that the government was involved’’, some of the blood chilling questions posed in the book.

In the eve to Obama’s death, the martial court, in an attempt to bring to book abortive coup suspects, had ordered arrest warrant for the Ugenya Member Of parliament James Orengo, then a close ally to the former.

Malik Obama,in his book treats the  government’s response after the death of his father as a suspect, as the accident and the subsequent demise of the Harvard scholar never hit the airwaves , as it would be the case to other prominent people in the government.

300 FAMILIES LEFT HOMELESS IN NYANDO AFTER FORCEFUL EVICTION BY AHERO IRRIGATION SCHEME

 BY OMARI AKELLO
TOP officials at the limping Ahero irrigation scheme are on the spot after they ordered for questionable forceful eviction that has rendered over 300 families homeless in Kamagaga village Nyando district.

The operation which was conducted by security forces armed to the teeth drawn from both regular and administration  police also left one child with serious injuries after the wall collapsed on the minor.

The minor was rushed to Ahero sub-district hospital where she was admitted following serious injuries she suffered when the police accompanied by other officials from the irrigation board ruthlessly destroyed the homes.

While reacting to the plight of the affected families Kisumu County women Representative Rose Nyamunga strongly condemned the act saying it was barbaric and inhuman to expose the locals to current rain despite the fact that no notice was issued to them.

Nyamunga said her office has already drafted a threatening letter to relevant bodies demanding for a quick explanation and investigation.

She said it was wrong for the steadily failing irrigation board to embark on mistreating the locals instead of working on jump-starting the company.

The victims who have camped at Ahero multipurpose hall have extended their pleas to the government to quickly chip in and address their problem as they are left homeless in an operation which sharply coincided with the opening of schools.

During the eviction the victims also lost their farm produce,livestock,cash and other valuables including electronic gadgets and mobile phones suspected to have been stolen by the security officers who conducted the operation.
