The National Alliance party Parliamentary Aspirant for the newly created Kisumu Central Constituency last week fled from an angry mob which was demanding cash from him after he had given the a number of groups in the area.
Mr Ken Obura was evacuated to safety by a horde of body guards as the crowd which was composed of youths chased his Land cruiser car using motorbikes and boda bodas through a rough section near the Obunga police post.
Obura had just finished giving several groups in the area grants for expanding their businesses and attempted to leave the venue of the rally.
The youths jumped on motorbikes and chased his motorcade for almost a kilometer and caught up with him near the Kisumu Cotton mills forcing him to stop.
Baying for his blood the youths who jammed him demanded a share since they are also voters in Kisumu central.
They left after their demands were met.
Nyanza police Chief Joseph Ololetito arrived at the scene after the crowd had dispersed.
Obura earlier while addressing the crowd promised to empower the young people and women.
He blamed the current crop of leaders for neglecting the common.
The aspirant warned that he would monitor how funds he disbursed to the various groups are used before giving more.
Obura promised to tackle all their problems when elected as the first Mp of Kisumu central which has been hived off Kisumu West and East.
He called on the areas voters to vote for Uhuru Kenyatta
STRANGE!
This guy Ken is embracing impunity and burying the the victims of the 2007/2008 afresh. When shall we see evil and call it by its name? For how long shall we sell our souls for a few cents? Money is not everything dear brothers and sisters. Only true sacrifice and integrity will save our country from impunity.
The birds are saying the UK will on Saturday 27.10.2012 chain himself and demonstrate in the streets of Nakuru to earn public sympathy against the ICC. Will this not yield the opposite effect by reminding Kenyans of the atrocities of his father JK?
DR ODIDA OKUTHE.
First of all I think you people have your information wrong. The named candidate to my knowledge is not a TNA candidate. These are nothing but malicious rumours being spread by people who wish to prevent residents of Kisumu Central from embracing new youthful leadership that seeks to change and improve the politics of Kisumu. Let’s not pay attention to propaganda. Give the youth a chance and for me Ken Obura is the way to go for KIsumu Central.
