Raila Odinga |
By Mwita .P. Chacha
Local Intel in Migori have hinted out the possibilities of Raila's Friday visit in Migori turning chaotic if the NASA flag bearer happens to mention the unpopular term '6 Piece' .
Migori is known to be a very unpredictable political boxing arena where the people have much to offer than the politicians themselves.
Same to what happened in Rarieda Siaya County a few days ago where the NASA flag bearer Raila Odinga was heckled , and rogue youths stormed the rally where he was addressing citizens , the Opposition
leader who accompanied by the Siaya Senator James Orengo said that the area will need to vote in six pieces to make sure that the coming government has enough strength to pass bills in the next parliament, yet Migori residents too are furious and anti six piece agenda.
Raila Odinga has always been an icon of Politics in Migori except for the mere fact that his ODM umbrella is technically loosing balance lately playing politricks.
A good number of electorates from Migori County have promised to attend the Raila rally though insist the presidential hopeful should desist from mentioning the term '6 piece' at the rally
Bonyeza Star embarked on an advanced research to find out the temperatures of various parts of the County politically and it also turned out Raila remains their sole Presidential bid favorite but with diverse thoughts on other elective posts right from MCA , Women Reps, Senators and Governors saying 'baba aache wengine wamenyane kivyao'.
Dr.Ochilo Ayacko |
Seems like a good majority the people of Migori are keen on voting their preferred candidates based on self conviction and not through Raila's handpicking method.
However the gubernatorial race tussle between Governor Obado and Ochilo Ayacko is said to be hotter than any other race countrywide amid baseless attacks on the former minister by the incumbent Governor any time Dr.Ochilo Ayacko mentions the undoings of Governor Obado in the last 5 years.
Dr.Ochilo nonetheless still commands a larger crowd as compared to that of Obado hence any unexpected event during the Raila visit could end up in a repeat of the Joho shooting rally.
Political analysts and advisers allied to both Ochilo and Obado have also been warned against reckless utterances including the contestants themselves with the most common phrase in town being '' Kik ukuod wii Baba'' I believe the Luo phrase means ''Dont dissapoint Raila when he comes''
Governor Obado during a recent stop over at the Migori bus park accused Hon.Ochilo Ayacko of the claims that Raila sells party tickets and that Ochilo Ayacko has lately scrapped off Ruto and Uhuru's name in his list of Corrupt Crooks statements ending up with only Obado in it and linking Ochilo to Jubilee, yet this past Monday Dr.Ochilo while addressing the residents of Migori at Poster Grounds did actually loud Raila for his intentions to rebuild this country but aught to ensure party primaries are conducted in the right manner.
Speaking via his social media page earlier on Monday Hon.Ochilo Ayacko said,
'' ODM Party Leader and NASA Presidential candidate Rt. Hon. Raila Odinga should heed the calls of a section of his supporters urging him to keep off lower races and focus on the presidential bid.
We all support Hon. Odinga and would love to be in the same party with him but that takes the party to conduct credible nominations first and foremost.
ODM nominations in many places in Luo Nyanza awarded losers certificates; while in same places incumbents just ensured there was no elections at all, only to rush to Nairobi to claim certificates.
This reality, coupled with the fact that everyone here supports Odinga, should make him focus more on his bid which we all support; and let the people decide on the lower races.
Getting entangled in lower seats is unwise and one of those moves being pushed by the same fellows who rigged themselves in during nominations. shouting "Six Piece" in the backdrop of a shambolic nominations exercise is being insincere.
What's going on in Raried, Siaya County, is shameful.''

The two gubernatorial hopefuls however are loyal to NASA flag bearer irregardless of diverse thoughts from their followers.
