Across n section of residents from Nyando Constituency within Nyando District have vowed to resist attempts by their area Member of Parliament Fred Outa and Vice President Kalonzo Musyoka’s office to construct Prison jail house within KOchoggo area.

Led by Ahero Town Council Chairman Councillor Joel Oron and his Vice Chairman Cllr.Onyango Weather, they leaders dar5ed the Ministry to send its officers for surveillance within the area with a view of commencing the construction of the said prison.

“There is a maximum prison within Kodiaga area and there is Kisii and Siaya Prisons, why is the area MP founding it prudent to agitate for the construction of Prisons within Nyando and trying to induce land owners with compensations?“ Oron wondered.

He vowed that they as grassroots leaders will resist at all costs the construction of the said Prison saying the crime rate within the area does not warrant such.

“I know very soon the Prime Minister Raila Odinga will be here with a view of convincing the area residents to allow the said construction to go on after being misled by the area MP, when he comes we will make our stand known even if it means loosing our seats, we will defend our people to the hilt” the angered Oron added.

We have authoritatively established that the area MP has bought some section of the land where the prison is to be constructed with a view of re-selling it back to the state again.

Nyanza Provincial Prisons boss P.Kamau when contacted said the whole project has been stopped till all the pertinent issues are addressed
