FORMER Karachuonyo Member of Parliament and Minister for Planning and Economic Development Dr.Adhu Awiti has told those who are eying the post of Governorship that they are wasting their time and instead they should support Former Marie Stopes Country Director Cyprian Otieno Awiti saying the political climate presently favors’ Cyprian.
Speaking in East Karachuonyo Division in Rachuonyo District at Kobuya Mixed Secondary School during a fundsrive, Dr.Adhu told the aspirants Ogada Opiata,Mark Matunga,Agutu Jakorayo and Phillip Okundi who were present straight to their face that he will use his scarce resources to make sure that Cyprian becomes the first Governor of Homa- Bay County after which they can contest the seat.
“Let us not deceive ourselves, we as eminent and prominent sons of Karachuonyo and the larger Homa Bay County we have fully endorsed Cyprian, even luo political leadership has given their blessing, who are you to start creating confusions here under the guise of aspiring” the oratory Adhu asked.
He said that a County like Homa Bay needed someone who had the knowledge of the entire County and not strangers and masqueraders who hob nobs the county only during elections.
“Before you elect anybody, ask him what he has done to your village, then your constituency then the county before he tries his hand in the Governorship”Adhu added.
On his part, Cyprian called for peaceful campaigns saying they should be conducted maturely with sobriety and said all aspirants should be allowed to Campaign in all parts of Homa Bay County.
“Let no one bar any aspirant from entering his “stronghold” all should be allowed to move freely within the entire County and these elections should not be treated as a matter of life and death” Cyprian added.
On his part Agutu Jakorayo said he will go all the way to the ballot and if Cyprian defeats him he will accept and challenged Cyprian to accept the verdict of the voters if it won’t go his way.
“We should not be bullied into endorsing an individual due to reasons we do not know,this is politics and democracy” he added.
Who is this Adhu?politics of endorsement that he is angling for wont work this time round.let all face the electorate not await endorsement from some fuzzy ‘luo leadership’
This is not during OKIKO AMAYO AND PHEOBE ASIYO, Adhu should remember that we have a new contit. which came with a lot of changes. Jamawego is qualify but can Adhu tell us what Cyprine has done to karachuonyo before he tell other aspirant to tell people the same. Where is Marie Stopes clinic or Hospital in Karachuony, charity beings at home. Adhu should go back kanjira and return the land he grabe from orphan children.
Adhu please watch your mouth because you might end up spoiling the party for Awiti Jamawego.
Adhu shld know dat we are nolonger in the era of being told who to elect,nkt!why dont he leave the people of h.bay county to elect leaders of their choice
