Confusion together with booing, jeering marred the launching of ODM secretary general and Medical Services Prof. Anyang Nyongo’s bid for Kisumu County Senatorship.

Coupled with that five Members of Parliament drawn from the entire Kisumu County which he purports to want to represent skipped the event that was staged at the Kisumu Kenyatta Sports Ground and attended by outsiders namely Ministers James Orengo and Paul Otuoma.

The MPs who included Ochieng Diama (Nyakach), Fred Outa (Nyando), Olago Aluoch (Kisumu Town West) and Prof. Ayiecho Olweny (Muhoron) all failed to attend without any apology.

Only Shakeel Shabir (Kisumu Town East) showed up briefly and left before the function kicked off, Nyongo was also not in sight to see him off.

The absence of the MPs even though they were all invited left many supporters of the medical minister wondering whether they approve of his candidature.

During his speech Prof. Nyongo failed to show cause why his colleagues had given his launch a wide berth.

Some of the aspiring candidates for the same post include Eng. Ocholla Ogoda and Eng. Otieno Odongo.

Ends.
