Reports Leo Odera Omolo In Homa-Bay Town.
ANOTHER high profile political personality from Ndhiwa district has declared he is interested in the Homa-Bay County Senate seat.
MR Hilary Ochieng’
His name is Hilary Ochieng’ Onyango Alila, the 37 year marketing executive with an international airline currently based in the Ugandan capital, Kampala.
He is perhaps the most credible high profile aspirant to have come forward from Ndhiwa district, and declared his interest in the covenanted position within the County recently created under the political dispensation.
Alila now joins the former Kasipul-Kabondo MP, William Oloo Otula, whose campaign for the same seat hit the ground last month. Born in a political family, Hilary is the second son of the late Mr. Nelson Onyango Alila, from Rapedhi area of Kanyikela Location in Nyarongi Division, Ndhiwa district. The late Onyango Alila, a teacher by profession, for many years was the longest serving KNUT South Nyanza branch executive secretary, and had contested Ndhiwa parliamentary seat on two occasions.
In a message sent from his Kampala Office, Mr Alila, who for many years has been an ODM operative in Nairobi, says he represented genuine true reforms and changes, and that the future leadership of this country should be vested in the youths.
Alila received his early education at St Mary’s Primary School, Mosocho, and later at Asego Primary School, before joining the Nairobi school, where he was declared the best students during his years there. He later joined the Kampala International University, and graduated with a bachelor of commerce degree {B.Com}
He later proceeded to an institution in Italy where he studied and obtained a diploma in marketing. He has since served several international airline companies operating in Dubai, before returning to Nairobi, where he joined the Russian National Airline. He is a director of several multinational and local firms in Nairobi; this includs Jaguar FZC and also the Global airline.
Alila says that Homa-Bay country is endowed with a lot of natural resources, such as fish, minerals, fertile and arable land, and needs to be turned around for the benefit of the poverty stricken residents. If elected the Senator in the area, he would mount a protracted fight for poverty eradication, and ensure that the County’s resources are put to proper use.
Alila promised that his campaign for the Homa-Bay seat would soon hit the ground, and appealed to the youth in the area to work for a change in political leadership, in line with the rapidly changing pattern of world politics.

We need young blood to develop the County.With his late Father good truck record in the teaching profession he can also do wonders in Homa bay.I propose we support him. Benard Owiro
What do you mean by “He later proceeded to an institution in Italy”? This Alila is the type with questionable education backgrounds.We need well read people not boys who went through shortcuts coz the parents had money.Tell him to concentrate on his work and leave politics to politicians!
The best way for an aspirant to market himself/herself is to demonstrate the good qaulities of a leader not the track records of the father.
SAA BADO.
we are with him even if he never went to school,
