Good people of Siaya,
Greetings to all,
I am compelled to say that, Education, Science and Technology, job creation with Communities Co-op Partnership Development on Natural Minerals and Agricultural industrial prospects should be given 1st priority involving collective participation of the Siaya People shared fairly. This should involve both the local people and those in Diaspora to have an opportunity to engage effectively and profitably in sustainable worthy endeavor that will stimulate economic growth in diversity from marginalization and stagnation that inflicted the City 50 years down the line. We shall all be pleased and delighted that, this will give the City a facelift with improved lost glory we look forward for Siaya County, the City of the People, to generate momentum moving forward in Progressive Development and not retrogrising………
Now that elections are over, and Rasanga has extended an olive branch to his opponent, people must work in a united front irrespective of Party affiliation for a purpose of developing the region without looking back. It must be known that politics is a game of competition that are full of challenges, but those who work and engage for common good of all, focusing on peoples service delivery without short-changing or discrimination, shall win public interest in the process.
People must descern backwardness but must involve collective opinions and commit to achievements and success that bring peace and happiness to all !!!
Cheers !!!

Siaya to Use Sh3.6 Million to Swear-in Rasanga
by Ricky Otieno
Nov 06, 2013 (The Star/All Africa Global Media via COMTEX) —
SIAYA county government has allocated Sh3.6 million for the Friday swearing-in-ceremony of governor-elect Cornel Rasanga. Speaking to the Star on the phone yesterday, county interim Transition Authority secretary Caleb Ongoma said Sh90,000 has been set aside for transporting 360 party officials.
He said the provisional estimate is set to be reviewed after a final budget committee meeting to be held today at the county commissioner’s office. “The budget might upscale to Sh4 million depending on the resolution of both budget teams from Transition Authority and the governor’s,” Ongoma said.
He said Hon Judge Hillary Chemetei is likely to preside over the legal bit during the ceremony to be held at the Siaya Municipal Stadium. Ongoma said security has been bolstered ahead of the function. He said guests will be thoroughly screened before getting into the stadium.
“Following the recent Westgate saga we cannot take chances on security,” Ongoma said. He said former Prime Minister Raila Odinga and the chairman of the Council of Governors Isaac Rutto and other governors are expected to attend the function.
After the swearing in session, guests will be invited to three separate luncheons: one at Rasanga’s home in Segere, a second at the late Amoth Owira’s home and a third at Siaya Institute of Technology.

Propaganda cost Oduol seat
Monday, October 21, 2013 – 00:00 — BY JUSTUS OCHIENG
THE camp alied to the Siaya governor loser William Oduol has claimed propaganda orchestrated by top ODM brigade led to their defeat.
Former Alego Usonga MP Sammy Weya, who was Oduol’s chief campaigner, said ODM sustained a campaign, which depicted Oduol as a Jubilee sympathiser in a Cord-dominated region.
He said this sank well with the voters who believed the false assertions against the National Agenda Party of Kenya candidate and rejected him at the ballot.
During the campaigns, some ODM leaders said the contest between the party candidate, Cornel Rasanga, and Oduol was a race between President Uhuru Kenyatta and Cord leader Raila Odinga.
Rasanga garnered 107,737 votes against Oduol’s 64,106 while independent candidate Noah Migudo managed 1,446 votes.
Oduol conceded defeat on Thursday night at Chezz Albert Hotel in Siaya town. He thanked his supporters for standing with him in the campaigns and election.
Rasanga’s win enabled ODM to stamp its authority in Siaya, which is Raila’s home county.
The county has six constituencies, Alego Usonga, Gem, Ugenya, Ugunja, Rarieda and Bondo.
Rasanga beat Oduol in all the constituencies.
