A contractor masquerading as Prime Minister Raila Odinga political ally has hit Kisumu city and its environs with storm.
The bulky contractor known for his shoddy work in institutions around Kisumu city and its environs has now extended his intimidation and fleecing spree to C.E.Os, MPs and high ranked government officials to succumb to his cheap schemes and by extension Prime Minister Raila Odinga’s quest for presidency cum 2012.
Unsuspecting officials and majority of politicians have however succumbed to his gimmicks and have given him handouts religiously and contracts worth millions of shillings all in a bid to offer them “protection”.
Featuring prominently are names of Prime Minister Raila Odinga, Finance Assistant Minister Oburu Odinga and Gem Mp Jakoyo Midiwo who he invoke their names and at times stage manage none existing harambees to arm twist his suspecting “milking cows”.
Recently he fleeced the C.EO. of Lake Victoria South Water Board under the pretext that the war that was bedeviling the body was heavily sponsored by his enemies and therefore he had to be empowered to counter the “enemies”
His looting dens are Kisumu Hotel, Sunset Hotel, Imperial Hotel and he’s always marooned by hired journalists who are in his pay role and can never expose his dirty dealings like the shoddy jobs wedding across the region.
At one time he did a shoddy job in Nyando County council and pocketed millions at the expense of the cash strapped local authority without accomplishing it.
He’s currently doing a multi million project in Bondo and observers are jittery, whether he will finish it without eyebrows and acrimonies.
He’s a legal holder of a pistol which he always displays in pubs to silence diverse opinion.
Last week in a desperate bid to entrench his fleecing gimmicks and seek public sympathy, he criss crossed the entire town holding goat eating sessions in the wee hours of the night with paid goons telling them that people should know that his life is in danger.
The brown completion contractor is further facing auction in his native Kisumu home after failing to clear a Barclays Bank loan dating back to 8years bragging that as long as the Prime Minister is a live he’s untouchable.
END
We need to be careful lest we become victims as well. the idea of shoddy contractors taking charge of our towns and threatening people should be discouraged. The leaders using this contractor should be ashamed of themselves. Nowonder they are loosing bye elections.
