URIRI PARLIAMENTARY HOPEFULS SEEKS FOR CDF MANAGEMENT REFORMS
Writes Jakotae Omory from Uriri District.
Uriri parliamentary hopefuls have unononimously appealed for changes in the administration of Uriri CDF office sighting low qualifications and corruption of some serving officials.

Consequently, these aspirants have appealed to the Uriri member of parliament Hon. Cyprian Ojwang’ Omollo to facilitate the reforms by carrying out complete overhaul of the current officials to ensure the smooth running of the office.

These were non other than Mark Nyamitta, Joshua Owiny, George Ocholla and Dr. Joshua ongwara.They said these while attending to the burial of the late wife and child of Dave Nyamitta who died in a tragic road accident.

These aspirants view the CDF as the major contributor to the development of the constituency’s economic, hence need for reforms to accommodate all the divergent views of all the constituents. The meeting should be held at public place not MP’s home.

On the very day the kamgundho ward councilor Mr. Okoth Aram send the crowd into series of laughter’s when he sorted to know the qualifications of CDF treasurer Mr. Ooko Atong’a. and how much salary he was earning, alleging that all over sudden he has built a permanent house plot and bought four motor cycles and according to him Mr. Atong’a was a class three drop out without qualification to run such a big office.

Upon investigation by this writer, the unraveling details emerged that the two had ruffled feathers over Ondome Primary’s allocation which the councilor was trying to block, forcing the CDF treasurer to marching out of the CDF office by assistance of some youth challenging him to talk about LATIF and LASDAP because that is his area of jurisdiction.

Meanwhile during the occasion, the youthful candidate Mr. Mark Nyamitta carried the day because his speech was devoid of scathing political attacks on neither MP nor his fellow parliamentary hopefuls. Political pundits were arguing that if the elections were carried out the very day Mark could have emerged the winner.

Another thing which took centre stage is the neglect of the youths and misuse of the constituency youth funds because even the constituency youth leader is past 35 years and has got no interest of the youth at heart. These are the reasons why the youths have switched their loyalty to a youthful candidate Mr. Mark Nyamitta arguing that Mark has been promoting local youths football teams and holding series of harambees not forgetting to mention his elder brother Ken Nyamitta popularly known as ‘Nyakwar okombe’ who have been sponsoring the youths to series of picnics and drinking sprees.

According to another candidate Mr. Ongwara the searchlight of suspicion is squarely on the Constituency Management Committee who he alleged is given 40% discount on every CDF allocation with impunity.
