News Analysis By Leo Odera Omolo.

POOR administration and inefficient management and disbursement of government devolving funds are some of the contentious issues, which are likely to have serious repercussions and negative impact in some constituencies in Luo-Nyanza.

The other issue, which is likely to work for the downfall of some of the MPs from the region include the bad habit of pursuing issues, which are quite irrelevant to the need of the electorate and absenteeism from serious development forums, discussing issues related to the economic empowerment and advancement of the community.

An important meeting called by the government to deliberate on the privatization of sugar mills and companies was recently held in Kisumu City. The one day forum attracted the CEOs and directors of sugar companies and stakeholders in the sugar industry.

This highly sensitive and important meeting was held at the Tom Mboya Labour College. The Agriculture Minister, William Ruto, as well as top Ministry officials and experts were present. But not even one single Luo MP was in attendance, despite the fact that sugar sub-sector of the national economy has some direct impact on the economic life of many people in Luo-Land.

The most valid argument is that, out of the eight functioning white sugar manufacturing factories, most are located in Nyanza Province, mostly in the Nyando sugar belt, and as such the electorate in this region become automatically the stakeholder in the industry. Therefore anything to do with the planned privatization of the sugar factories could have been expected to be a matter of serious concern for the area MPs. However, the MPs deliberately chose to stay away from theses important deliberations with such direct economic interest to their people..

Ruto was in Nyanza as a government Minister and whatever the political differences the region’s MPs have with him should have been set aside in the interest of sugar cane farmers in Nyanza, who are currently hit below the belt by the scourge of abject poverty, due to mismanagement of the sugar industries in the region. The issue of the privatization of the sugar mills is not a simple laughing matter.

What is so strange, is the fact that some of the Luo MPs were earlier spotted while driving around Kisumu City, but for reasons best known to themselves, choose to stay away from the meeting.

And last week, came the bombshell dropped by the Nyanza, P.C. Francis Mutie. The administrator, while inaugurating the new Nyamache district, in Bobassi Constituency, in Southern Kisii region, in what is today Eastern Nyanza sub-regio, issued a stern warning to the administration officials to closely monitor how government devolving funds are spent.

The PC was accompanied by the Minister for Roads, Chris M Obure, who is the area MP, and his Bomachoge neighboring constituency, MP Simon Ogari and the Eastern Nyanza Sub-Region Regional Commissioner, Lydia Muriuki.

He said there have been complaints about the mismanagement and misappropriation of CDF, LATF and Kazi Kwa Vijana, adding that the kitties should be properly managed and disbursement done in a transparent manner.

In Luo-Nyanza, unconfirmed reports emerging from the various constituencies paint negative picture of massive looting of the CDF money. This is being attributed to the fact that the Mps, who are the automatic patrons of these kitties have abdicated their responsibilities or simply neglected supervising the funds.

Complaints are coming from all over the Province about the misuse of the CDF. In Migori constituency, th area MP, John Pesa, is being accused of having imported his kins from Karungu and deployed them to manage the CDF, as opposed to the wishes of the local people of Jo-Suna origins who are the majority. Mr. Pesa, whose origin is Karungu, in Nyatike, only settled in N yarongi area of Migori constituency as an immigrant settler.

Similar complaints have also come from Kisumu Town West. The area MP, John Olago Aluoch, is said to have sidelined the indigenous people of Jo-Kisumo origins in favor of outsiders. This has prompted a strong agitation by the indigenous Jo-Kisumo, who feel they are being discriminated against by their MP, on contentious issues of policy making at the constituency level.

Jo-Kisumo have since protested to the government, demanding for a separation of their rural area from Kisumu Town’s peri-urban constituency, and consequently to a new constituency of their own, to be known as Kisumo Constituency. They are also demanding that half of their population, who are currently falling under the Kisumu Rural constituency, which is represented by Prof Anyang’ Nyong’o, be re-united with their kin in Kisumu Town West, and a new constituency and district known as Seme be created.

The major source of these complaints and discontent came about due to the negative attitude of the sitting MP Olago Aluoch, who is being accused of engaging outsiders in all the important committees managing CDF, LATF and other devolving government funds. The MP, who hails from Kanyakwar, a small immigrant community, whose roots is being traced to Alego Usonga area, is considered as an outsider among Jo-Kisumo.

There are some areas, however, where the current MPs have scored the highest marks. These include Rongo, Gem, Ugenya, Nyakach, Kasipul-Kabondo, Karachuyonyo, Ndhiwa and Bondo constituencies.

In Rongo, the area MP, Dalmas Otieno, who is the Minister for Public Servants, last week carried out a major reshuffle of CDF management team. The Mp sent the old committee, headed by Jared N’gura and Joshua Mwonya packing. Also dropped from CDF management were Councilors Roseline Arucho, Arucho was replaced by East Sakwa nominated Awendo Town Councillor, Daniel Ndire, and saw the inclusion of two women, Mrs Betty Oyugi and Yuanita Okeyo, in the new team, which is expected to be much more vibrant.

Ng’ura was replaced by Charles Odundo from Central Sakwa while Ogola Opiyo replaced Joshua Mwonya. The reshuffle followed the popular demand by the area residents that the former CDF team was sleeping on the job. The new team is expected to be vibrant taking into account the personalities involved.

In the neighbouring Ndhiwa, the Assistant Minister for Internal Security, Joshua Orwa Ojode, is leading the pack of the few MPs in Nyanza whose track record of development remained the highest. Ojode’s supervision of CDF at one time landed him in court when he exchanged blows with the former Ndhiwa District Officer, whom he had accused of misappropriating of CDF money. Development projects funded with CDF money are visible everywhere in Ndhiwa. They include the ultra modern CDF office building in Ndhiwa Town, several road networks, electricity supplies, improvement of water supplies, medics facilities and schools.

For Ndhiwa, an area which fifteen years ago was the most backward constituency in the Southern Nyanza region, it is now a success story.

But in the neighboring Rangwe, things have gone from bad to worse, especially with unconfirmed report that members of the CDF steering committee, including administrative chiefs, were at one time paid the sitting allowances with CDF money, after attending a one day meeting at an Hotel in Rodi Kopany market. The unconfirmed rumor making the rounds alleged that each of the participant went home rich with 4000/- sitting allowance budgeted from CDF. It caused furry all over the area.

The area MP, Martin Ogindo, is said to have taken refugee in Nairobi, and rarely appears at the CDF or DDC meetings, contrary to the excellent work done by his predecessor Eng. Phillip Okundi, who represented the area between 2002 and 2007. Okundi left a mark of dedicated development work. The current Rangwe MP, the residents claimed, has failed and as such cannot fit into Okundi’s shoes in terms of development activities and fair disbursement of all sorts of devolving funds

In Karachuonyo, the communication expert, Eng. James Rege is being credited for hard work and for being a good manager of the CDF. He is said to have lobbied for the top intellectuals and academicians in the area to be included in the CDF steering committee, unlike in other constituencies, where most of the CDF members are semi-illiterate people, with no government accounting experience. And things are working smoothly and harmoniously well there.

In Mbita, there is remarkable improvement on the performance of the Immigration Minister, Otieno Kajwang’, ever since he scooped the cabinet job. The Minister is nowadays ever presence at home during weekends, supervising CDF projects, conducting Harambee and attending to complaints of the electorate, unlike his previous dismal performance.

In Gwassi, it is a big joke for the area MP, John Mbadi, who is reportedly embroiled in a heated argument with the minority community of Jo-Kakisingiri people over the places where the new Gwassi district should have its headquarter. The former Suba district had already acquired a large track of land from the resident for the same purpose, while Mbadi, who hails from Gwassi, is reported to have sided with the Gwassi people and settled on Magunga sub-district as the new district headquarters. He is said to have lobbied hard for its gazettement by the government, an accussation which the MP has never denied. Most people from the area feel that their MP has short-changed them in favour of his own Jo-Gwassi sub-clan . The argument is so heated and at one time almost sparked off or ignited sub-clan clashes between Jo=Gwassi and Jo-Kakisingiri. Things are not working well, and disbursement of CDF is said to be nightmarish or put to a halt.

In Nyatike, Edick Omondi Anyanga, is a very active MP who has managed to print his foot on the constituency within the shorted period of time. He has initiated some projects that are so popular, such as sourcing for tractors, which are now assisting the farmers, especially cotton growers, in land cultivations and has also supervised fair disbursement of CDF to the budgeted projects.

Although he is a newcomer to parliamentary politics, P Anyanga is being credited as a workaholic man. His firm and unswerving support, which he has given to his constituents over he disputed Migingo fishing island, has elevated his popularity threefold. And his regular contributions to the debates in the August House is another source of his popularity. Migingo Island is part of Nyatike, and the majority of fishermen and petty traders on the island hail from Nyatike. It is also next door to the mainland Nyatike district. The MP has persistently pressurized the Kenyan government to send an armed force to drive the Ugandan forces from occupation out of the island, which he maintains is part and parcel of Kenya.

In Uriri, the matters are even worse than when the area was represented by the immediate former MP, the 86 year old Herman Odhiambo Omamba. The old man, the residents say, was a better representative, despite his advance age, than the present MP, Cyprian Ojwang’ Omolo. Mr. Omolo is said to be semi-illiterate, and has not even made his maiden speech in the House.

Locally, MP Omolo is not very comfortable with intellectuals, owing to his inferior academic background, and he is a besieged man, who is said to be living in fear always, suspecting his movement and utterances within the constituency. One resident told this writer that Ojwang’ Omolo’s leadership is a big joke for the residents of the agriculturally rich Uriri constituency.

The CDF Treasurer is an illiterate person, but has redoubled his wealth soon immediately after stepping into CDF offices. He is said to have purchased five brand new motor bike taxis, built two new houses for his two wives, and other things, amid allegations of misappropriation of devolved funds.

Another Luo MP who is credited for efficient disbursement of CDF money is Jakoyo Midiwo, the abrasive Gem MP.

In spite of having blood relationship with the Prime Minister Raila Odinga, the youthful MP has worked hard for his people. He is always at home during the weekend issuing CDF cheques to the budgeted projects, conducting Harambee fund s drives here and there for schools and the needy people.

The same could be said of Dr. Oburu Oginga, the Bondo MP, who has the most attractive track record of development. The Assistant Minister spends most of weekends in Bondo, inspecting the work of CDF funded projects and interacting with his constituencies, meeting the people in their villages, just right in the foot-step of his late father Jaramogi Oginga Odinga, who in his hay days used to visit the Wananchi within their locality, sharing their problems in all aspect of life.

In Ugenya, James Agrey Orengo, has undergone thorough overhaul change of tactics from the old militant politics to that of active participation in development activities. The Minister is always at home conducting Harambee, disbursing CDF cheques or attending to burial of the fallen constituents.

Alego-Usonga, the multi-millionaire politician, who is a Mombasa based business tycoon, is a pathetic case. He rarely shows his face in the constituency. But when he made technical or cosmetic appearance, it is being alleged that he is a bully and excessively arrogant. The MP, Edwin Ochieng’Yinda, a former KANU operative, is suspect by his ODM colleagues to have always an MP representing PNU and a mole within ODM.

Yinda’s relationship with the Prime Minister Raila Odinga is said to be at the lowest ebbs, ever since he criticized “Agwambo” for his choice of cabinet Ministers in the grand coalition government. His criticism did not go down well with Raila died-hard supporters in Alego-Usonga either.

Another bone of contention is his covert activities in sponsoring Mayoral elections in Siaya Town of people not favored for the job by the PM, which is viewed as defiance.

The Rarieda MP, Eng Nicholas Gumbo, is another besieged person, and might end up being a one time MP. His popularity has waned drastically, almost to zero level, in comparison to five years massive development in the area initiated by his predecessor, Raphael Tuju.

Two MPs in Nyando district, namely Fred Outa {Nyando} and Prof. Patrick Ayiecho Olweny, both have difficulties with the constituents over the CDF disbursement. While P. Ochieng’Daima {Nyakach} is reported to be doing extremely well and has maintained high level of popularity within the constituency.

The Kasiupul-Kabondo MP is another first time MP who is credited for hard work and good leadership. He is said to have been tough and firm in fair distribution of CDF and other development money, though the constituency remained the largest and most densely populated, and requires the urgent creation of another constituency.

    The Luos better wake up from their slumbers because relying on foreigners to solve their problems is a dream that will never be fulfilled!

    China is trying to make African a continent of consummers of Chnese products while the west lok at Africa a ground for looting natural resources. Other than promoting tribalism, war hardwares for Africans to kill each other while being looted, and encouraging corruption by elites selected by them to control and brutalize African masses , the west never sought to develop Africa at all.
    Now west are worried about China’s intentions in Africa and may be ready to sabotage any positive development that China may undertale. The following excerpt gives the west’s view on Chinese presence in Africa:

    There are weaknesses to Beijing’s great plan. For example, cheap Chinese goods flooding the continent sacrifice African jobs, sparking a backlash against the Chinese presence. Corruption is serious, institutions are weak and political risk in various African countries remains high, meaning the possibility of social and economic breakdown is real. No one will bet their house on continued growth in many African countries. But the West should take note: China has a plan to seize the advantage should the African consumer take flight

    First of all I would like to say that I always like reading your articles.Keep up the good job.

    Secondly,I would also like to clarify that Mr. John Pesa may be a jakarungu but he did not settle in Migori recently as you have written. Almost similar to Obama’s story, John Pesa’s grand father settled in Bondo sub division Suna Migori many years ago, when it was not even known that John Pesa will be born. His father was 14 years old and is the one who moved with his dad. Later on the granddad passed on, and his dad moved with some of his relatives to Nyarongi village, in search of big plots, as it was the culture back then.This is where John Pesa was born. So that makes John Pesa a Suna dude just like Obama is an American.

    On importing people from Karungu to manage the cdf, this a lie, nonsense and propaganda used by opponents to settle political scores. People like you should learn to stop acting on hearsays and gossips.As far as am concerned,only his cousin, Mr.Charles Kionge is a member of Karungu. He is the cdf secretary,God fearing person,well educated, experienced and has managed different secondary schools, so he brings with him the skills needed to develop the constituency.The rest I guess are all Suna people.

    So let us not divide our people using clanism. Mr. John Pesa has a proven record of hardwork and bringing development to areas he has worked in. Let’s chill,let him work and judge him in 2012.

    This is where we belong, i would encourage onagi to give their views here so that our elected leaders starting with Civic to Parliamentary should be responsive to the needs of people on the ground/
    I commend this interactive analysis,

    I have read with dismay and utter perplex to read that Nyatike CDF is currenntly being vey well managed. Having been a past chair of the kitty between 2003 -2008,I would tell you without blinking an eye that your analysis is wrong. It is only in Nyatike where all the previous projects which the former M.P had started were all abandoned, despite millions of tax payers money having been pumped to start them in the first instance.

    And which ones if one may ask have been initiated during Anyanga’s reign?

    What became of the funds in respect of which allocations which were made to the following projects in the 2007-2008 financial year?
    1. Agenga Secondary school- 500,000/-
    2. Agenga Dispensary- 300,000/-
    3. Agenga Primary 200,000/-
    4. Tuk Primary 200,000/-
    5. Sagama water dam 500,000/-
    6. Akala primary 200,000/-
    7. Sota Dam 1,500,000/-
    8. opeya primary 400,000/-
    9. Thimlich water dam 1,500,000/-
    10. Odingo dam 1,500,000/

    Please if this site is to be taken seriously, then report facts, not fiction about Nyatike.

  5. Paul Kotenga

    I understand that Rongo is all that well with CDF , the question is the fund is developing jokamagambo or Sakwa? sure 80% is being channelled to Rongo – kamagambo while 20 % to Awendo . The area mp Dalmas Otieno has become emporor Otieno. He employs only Kamagambo clan at the sony sugar company leaving out the natives. So Ngura should leave for him his office and we shall see how far he will reach with economics.

    No roads are constructed within the constuency, Bursary fee no even single orphan has benefitted, Dispensaried has no drugs.

    No ultra modern market being built in Awendo like the under construction in Rongo.

    Otieno and Ochilos has no place in Rongo politics they grab whatever is beneftiing the electrorate.

    Otieno should give back Maendeleo ya wanawake building to Women , This was women building not persopnall property by harambee that convened guest honour wicliff Musalia Mudavadi . Please history will judge them harsely.

  6. Pastor Charles Ngoje

    The article is informative and will help in a big way in keeping the leaders accountable. The missing ingridient is motivation and highlighting of needs in respective areas so that the managers of CDF may be able to prioritize well. I pray that we will not be too crictical on our leaders in such a way that they are discouraged from serving the people. Luo Nyanza is known for this but it is time to change that. I am proud of the positive report on Rongo.

  7. Ajoji Dume

    Honourable citizens of the constituency of Nyatike,

    Allow to pump intop yours some realities that are beyond refute, I know we share thing in common and thast is poverty, unemployment, hunger, injustice and unequal distribution of CDF funds in Nyatike.

    Time has come for young person in this country to wake up and stop worshiping our leaders like if they are gods, we know that the CDF commettee is composed of Anyanga’s croonies and illitrate relatives at the epennse of young and potential youths who are jobless within the constituency.

    I want ot share with you one belief that we are a generation under threat of corrupt bobby suckers, black dictators, imperialists in the name of libearators.

    ODM leader Raila Odinga has exhibited this in the politiks of Luo Nyanza, where he imposes leaders on the peaople, time has come that we have to take a break from ths trend because it’s the reason why EDICK OMONDI ANYANGA has the guts to say that

    He went to parliament through his means not by the consent of the pweople.
    Of cause this is trye to those who are privy to circumstances leadintg to his Election.

    Ask yourself where is the application of democracy?

    LET US ALL GET RID OF THIS CLASS OF RULERS IN 2012…… lADFIES AND GENTLMEN i REST MY CASE FOR YOU DECIDE….!

  8. Fuambo Janyandito

    All the thieving MPs and Councillors in Luo Nyanza should be jailed. The most shameless MPs are from Nyanza where instead of attending meetings with serious agenda, they are seen chasing after skirts.

    How can they be stealing from the poverty stricken brothers and sisters. Then they would want us to re-elect them in the name of the party. God forbid!

  9. DALMAS OLEKO

    jO Kanyanam Please lets join together and work to develope our counties.I am appealing to our people and possibly through this forum help to Gwassi constituency.Our MP has tried his best and I do think that it was the best he could do.I can not blame him for mismanagement of CDF and imbalanced development in Gwassi but blame it on the electorate.Gwassi district is the only district in Kenya without a DC, think of it.REASON? The MP DOES NOT LIKE DCs around his empire.Kajwang for whom he is a foot soldier did the same and has since realised and possibly quietly repented to the government.and now the DC has been has been posted in MBITA.Infact Mbadi is maquarading in the fact that there is a dispute,.That is an artificial dispute which the MP has created is happy about to the detriment of our people.Must we wait untill 2012?NO. Something has to be done and it must be done and it will be done by those he hadly thought about

  10. DALMAS OLEKO

    JO Thurwa,can somebody help me track the CDF projects in Gwassi constituency since 2008-2010.There is a great concern with the people there is a great concern with the people that need to be addressed sooner than later.

  11. AYUNGO ODERO

    Hello,
    It would be wise to acknowledge the importance of your work as a team. Am glad you have written the bitter truth about NYATIKE Constituency. I would like to advice People like Kennedy Okong’o that he should be aware that Nyatike you’re talking about is bigger than his clan of Kanyuor, you can see he is talking of Ageng’a (Primary , Secondary, Dispensary), Akala primary,Sagama Dam, Odingo Dam. All this projects are in Central Kadem where he comes from. Why is he not complaining of Projects in Karungu Div, Muhuru Div,and Kaler Div. Anyanga has done the best compared to them. School of excellency Hon. Anyanga gave to Sori in Karungu and St, Gema in Nyatike Div., Fish processing Plant he took to muhuru beach and Sori beach, level 3 dispensary he took to lwanda not forgetting the road networking and rural electrification in Nyatike constituency , unlike Okongo who took everything to Angena’a Sec ( Big Bus, Built Big Lab, Classes) at the expenses of the rest. NYATIKE is bigger than CENTRAL KADEM. Let them give Anyanga time and help him bring more development to Nyatike people. Hon. Omuk Lela should be rated no. 1 in Luo Nyanza. Truly he is the only Development Oriented M.P Nyatike have ever produced.

  12. Jacobus Ogango

    Hon. Anyanga has done nothing for Nyatike people and he is just busy eating with his in-laws, but there will come the time he will pay for all he has done. He has no mandate to talk bad since no body elected him. The like of Ayungo doesn’t know whom they are working with but sooner than later they will see.

  13. Ocholla Raymond

    Am happy to inform you that, Nyatike where i come from has had several problems with leadership and it is Hon. Anyango of whom his leadership as transformed the Constituency to its current state that it can be discussed at this national level.

    truly it is not wise to criticize a leader because he is nit from your clan, Clanism politics went with the old guards like Hon. Ocholla Ogur, Hon. Owigo Olang, Omolo ochilo and not forgetting the like of Kennedy Okong’o who believed that Nyatike constituency resources must just be concentrated in the development of his Central Kadem of Ageng’a area.

    Hon. Anyanga has scored though he is a first timer in parliament, like Hon. Amollo Odinga the M.p knows how to set the locals priorities right. The following are his achievement:-
    Road- network in all part of nyatike, we have road up-to very interior parts like: Otati, Obonndi, riat, obware,not, Ibencho, Ogonglo, aonge thiang, wuoth ogik, thim-lich ohinga, kabuto, Aneko and other parts.
    Electricity is every where in nyatike Sori, muhuru, Kaler, Aneko, got kacholla etc
    He is building fish processing plants and cold storage at Sori beach and Muhuru beach.
    CDF is being equally distributed in all parts to help in building of shools and churches.
    He succesfuly conducted a harambee for the womengroups in Nyatike.
    For the first time in the history pf Nyatike, our students are getting 10,000/= as CDF- bursaries that they use in paying fee, unlike the last regime where by they were given 4000/= and it was done selectively by Okong’o and Nyawara

  14. Clement Odero

    Am glad we have some positive people, people of whom can can stand tall and speak the truth about Nyatike Constituency. For fact, thew area M.p Hon. Peter Omondi Anyang,a has done the people of Nyatike proud. We are now happy to be associated with our constituency.

    Anyanga has done a lot to our people and that is why we must come out clearly to defend him against the power barons like Kennedy Okong’o, Mark Ogutu and their followers.

    Anyanga formed Omuk Lela foundation which is used to cater for educational expenses of the less fortune in the society, this was formed before he become the M.p for Nyatike.

    He selecte his CDF team to represent the whole face of Nyatike constituency, Chairman CDF-bursary is Ohuru Osodo from Muhuru, Chairman CDF is Mr. Langi North East Kadem, Sec Gen CDF- Mr. Basil Odero from Karungu.

    The M.p has managed to wipe the clanism politics and granted the small clans staying in Nyatike the right to lough and stay in harmony with the rest.

    Jacobus Ogango, we know him as a bitter man since he was the first PA to the M.p and was sucked because he was incompetent and was blocking Nyatike people the access to their M.p with some intention known to him.

    Ongango was paid for his fee balance by the M.p and he has no mandate to criticize the M.p, though he should give others also time to benefit just the way he benefited.

  15. Ben owuor otieno

    It is to our knowledge that Mr. ogango is avery disapointed Man. He worked for the M.p and was dismissed dut to his ability of incompitecy and he has no office administrative skills to serve the people of Nyatike. Due to this he is classified among the bitter individuals now busy to black list the M.ps noble development Projects.

    For your information, Nyatike people are very happy with the M.ps prioritised developments within the constituency.

    In the history of Nyatike, Hon. Anyanga has perform to the expectation of the local residents.

  16. elphas ku

    We as students who are pursuing higher education in the university,regret so much on the issue of cdf in uriri constituency.However much we been applying for bursary,our pleas usually fall on deaf ear.We are here for your own benefit in future[ Jo uriri]next time don’t fail us again.

  17. Maria Sung

    I am indeed sorry with how low our people of Nyatike have sunk as far as leadership is concerned. I have read your comments, praises and criticism and one thing is common. you are too deep in poverty that you dont know where the light is. Whether Ochola Ogur, Edick Anyanga or the late Tom Onyango, none of these guys has done anything to talk about. Why would we remain deep in poverty since CDF was introduced many years ago yet it is our sons who have been mps? Why is there no power line from othoch rakuom to Matoso, got kachola and aneko? why would a reasonable person pass powerlines in the wilderness just to punish people of sota? why discriminate by having kaler and not kadem east?
    Kennedy okongo only managed to buy cows using cdf cash. how can you be a leader only interested fist cuffs while you are under protection of hired policemen? unless we think a fresh, nyatike’s future is doomed and the current wave of politicians may not change much unless Agwambo allow us to elect the people we want.While you are working to be the president, please jakom,please allow us to elect. People buying nomination is spoiling for you, and this explains why there are no people in middle class in luo nyanza.

  18. Maria Sung

    ochola ogur failed nyatike, left it in a frying pan, edick anyanga took it to fire. it is pathetic being born in nyatike, we have never chose our leaders since the advent of multi party politics

  19. OCHOLA OTIENO

    “Good is the work that you have done”,the so called MPs do nothing of benefit to us.The much work that they can perform and the best of them is to squander funds and feed themselves to the rock of their lives.Lets watch them carefully as they will come back lustfully to ask for our votes.I hate them with passion!!No bursary,no road network,no jobs,thoo!But I hope there is no “NOTHING”.BE HUMANE “OUR GOOD” REPRESENTATIVES.

  20. OSORE JOHN

    I think before you write an mp you need to investigate the development records the person has made in his constituency.What GUMBO has done and still continue doing in Rarieda are very much ahead of Tuju.ITS THE FISRT TIME FOR THE PEOPLE OF RARIEDA TO HAVE ELECTRICITY IN EACH AND EVERY MARKET AND SO MUCH MORE. YOU TON APPRECIATE THE WORK OF SOMEBODY BEFORE YOU WRITE A NEGATIVE THING ON HIM.MAYBE HE FAILED TO HELP YOU THATS WHY YOU ALWAYS WRITE NEGATIVE THINGS ABOUT HIM.ARE YOU THE ONLY PERSON IN THE CONSTITUENCY TO BE HELPED?
