Writes Leo Odera Omolo In Kisumu City
The contest for the powerful position of Migori County governor is expected to be the toughest and most competitive come the next year polls time considering the number of high profile individual personalities involved.
The Kisumu City Town Clerk Christopher Odhiambo Rusana is the latest entry into he already crowded filed of contestants.
The 42 year-old graduate of the Nairobi University has the wealth of experience dating back to 1996 when he joined the Migori County Council a fresh from the University. He has since served as the Town Clerk in Mbita, Rongo, Kehancha and Kisumu.
Those close t him says Rusana is a no nonsense administrator par excellence and this could be an added value to his quest to be the governor of Migori under the new constitutional dispensation.
Born in Suna West Location, Suba West division of Migori district Rusana told this writer during an impromptu interview in Kisumu City that managing the County will not be an easy job as other might think. It will involve a lot of administrative skills, mobilization of the resource and revenue to supplement the 15 per cent expected as grant from the central, government.
The job will tough, challenging and will therefore require a lot of leadership skill, taking into account that Migori County residents are people of multiethnic society involving he majority Luos followed by Kuria,Suba an the minority groups like the Kisii, Luhya, and Somalis. All these must have their interests taken into account.
The Town Clerk will battle it out with he big names and political and academic luminaries such as Prof.Edward Akong’o Oyugi, Sam Onyango,a head of an auditing firm in Nairobi,Joseph Owiso Ojele, the proprietor of a private Hospital called Ojele Hospital Migori and Chacha Ogwe a former Provincial director of Education {PDE} Nairobi who is also a member of the board of director of the Awendo-based SONYSUGAR company.

The Kisumu Town Clerk is called Mr. Daniel Nkere.
Christopher Odhiambo Rusana is the Kisumu Town Clerk so your correction is means nothing,but mischievous and ill-intentioned. You could have your so-called Town Clerk to correct the story if it does not portray the truth fact

After all is said & done, let the Migori people vote their best!
we need tecnocrats with experience of running big organisations like chacha ogwe ,we dont want non-starters with no development records who want the name tag governor to enrich themselves
Apart from being a town clerk, what else? Governorship extends beyond that.
Anyway, voters will decide and I wish you all the well.
Chris has so much experience as an administrator. as a resident of Migori, if i was to vote today i would definitely vote for Rusana
