Writes Leo Odera Omolo
Politicians from Homa-Bay County have been asked to stop the use of threatening statements and abusive languages against young leaders from their community as that may create unnecessary acrimony and animosity that may bring setbacks to the expected gains of the devolved government.
The youths Led by Orange Young Democrat luminaries Odhiambo ManJack, and Washingtone Nyambero,complained that they have been subjected to scorns and even physical assaults from some leaders in the County who fear their political influence and might.
On one such attacks Denish Okoth from Ndhiwa constituency sustained severe injuries in his upper abdomen when he was assaulted by an aspiring governor from the County.
The leader of the Orange Young Democrats volunteers Maurice Aguko Mayora and Omondi Otore both from Kasipul Kabondo have expressed fear that their lives are in danger as their area Member of Parliament Joseph Oyugi have conspired to combined forces with South Rachuonyo area DC to hire the outlawed mercenaries to silence them for exposing their malpractices to the people.
The youths however,said they will continue to champion the right of the common people in the society “We will always defend our people’s rights we now known the plans of some of our leaders against us and I dare them touch one of us without proper cause “warned Nyambero.
They further reiterated that they have the constitutional rights to participate on issues affecting their county and the country in general and no one has power to deny them those rights.
“As young leaders we will do our best and give due respect to our sinuous, but we wont sit back if our leaders engaged us in confrontational type of politics.”said ManJack.
The youths warned politicians against the use organized gang to execute their dirty plans.They however thank the police for being non partisan.Last year a team of security personnel in Rachuonyo led by the able area OCPD Naomy Gichami crushed a deadly political terror squad operating as “Tiacha” that was terrorizing and issuing death threats to those perceived to be political and business rivals of a local politicians
