Recent press reports claiming that Kisumu Central Parliamentary hopeful Ken Obura is allied to Uhuru Kenyattas TNA are malicious, hollow, cowardly, parochial and should be condemned in the strongest terms possible without reservations.

The maliciously propelled story alleged that Ken Obura is a TNA ally and urged Kisumu residents to stongly campaign for Uhuru and come out in their large numbers to vote for him come march polls .

For starters Ken hails from Kano Kabonyo in Kisumu East District in Kisumu County. His Father the late Obura Mirenga was once a no nonsense elected Councillor in Kisumu Municipality in the early eighties. After his graduation from Nairobi University Ken plunged to Business with some of the powerful political clique in the ODM circles.

Its from here that Ken started to develop interests in politics and has been a blue eye boy of even the Prime Minister Raila Odinga. Aged 31, he has been vigorously and relentlessly pounding the terrain of the newly created constituency and even some of his opponents are now contemplating with drawing from the race but others have opted for cheap slander campaigns as away of scuttling him.

He’s slated to battle it out with former Kisumu Town West Mp Rev Ken Nyagudi, Businessman Shem Onyango Kwega, Obdul Dubai and top Accountant Bob Madanji all angling for ODM ticket in the primaries scheduled for January next year.
