wahenga husema palipo na moshi hapakosi moto. sasa hivi kwenye mrengo wa chungwa, wanaojihakikishia makuu ya useneta ugavana na womens rep bila wananchi wenyewe kunena kupitia kura zao watapata wakati mgumu wakitolewa nje uchaguzi utakapokamilika.

juma zilizopita mrengo huo ulijaribu kuuficha moshi kwa kutoa visingizio kwamba TNA walikuwa na changa moto aina hizo! asiyejua maana ya jambo kwa kweli haambiwi!

Kilicho na mwanzo haikosi mwisho siasa za six-piece zimefikia kikomo katika siasa za kenya

Residents heckle Kajwang' at CORD rally


By JAMES OMORO

Homa Bay, Kenya: Immigration Minister Otieno Kajwang' was heckled and forced to cut his speech in front of Prime Minister Raila Odinga after he tried to address a rally in Homa Bay County.

Mr Kajwang' was telling residents to vote for ODM candidates but the crowd at Homa Bay High School booed and shouted at him.

"Let us vote in uniform to ensure that ODM retains the members it had in the 10th Parliament," said the former Mbita legislator amid heckling from the crowd.

The minister was forced to leave the dais, as Sports Minister Ababu Namwamba took the microphone from him.

A section of the crowd threw stones, shoes and water bottles towards the dais.

CORD presidential candidate who was present helplessly watched the drama.

Public Service Minister Dalmas Otieno and his Local Government counterpart Fred Gumo were also heckled.

Raila echoed Kajwang's stand and asked Nyanza residents to vote six-piece, in March 4 elections.

The PM said after the next General Election, all CORD affiliate parties will review their parliamentary numbers and it would be a shame if ODM has less MPs.

He compared CORD to a polygamous family whereby children eat together with their mothers.

"CORD is like a polygamous family where there is Mikayi (first wife), Reru (second wife) and Nyachira (third wife) whereby at the end of the day every wife needs to have her children in her house," he argued. He appealed to residents of Nyanza to elect only aspirants who are contesting on ODM ticket and referred to others as madoadoa.

"Jothuruwa kik umiya madoadoa. Dang' ukwod wiya. (Our people do not give me madoadoa. You would ashame me," Raila said.

Raila urges Siaya to vote ‘six-piece'

In Summary

• ODM leader faced pockets of resistance from crowds chanting other party slogans

Prime Minister Raila Odinga concluded his three-day tour Nyanza by calling for ‘six-piece suit' voting pattern in Siaya County.

Mr Odinga said he needs to have many lawmakers and governors elected on the ODM ticket to make a strong government.

"Cord is like a polygamous family and each party has to present its side of the bargain when sharing Cabinet slots. You must give me lieutenants that I will work with when I get up there," he said.

The PM explained that if elected president, he would not have enough MPs and senators to help him push the government agenda if voters in Nyanza maintained their tough stance on ODM candidates.

The PM witnessed an uncharacteristic resistance from crowds when he described those seeking elective positions under Cord affiliate parties as ‘wild cats'.

"When a cat turns wild, you put it in to a sack and banish it. This election is about six-piece voting. We are not interested in a mix and match union," he said.

But sections of crowds openly defied, instead shouting Ford-Kenya and Wiper slogans.

Earlier, there was commotion after rival groups from ODM and other Cord affiliate parties engaged in a shouting match soon after the PM's motorcade arrived at Homa Bay High School grounds.

Separately, the Prime Minister on Wednesday praised US President Barack Obama's peace message to Kenyans on the coming elections.

"I and my colleagues in the Cord Summit took the greatest satisfaction from President Barack Obama's strong affirmation of continued US support for democracy in Kenya.

It is a pleasure to know that the President is taking such keen personal interest in the unfolding Kenyan election, and is also fully aware of the key issues at play," said Mr Odinga in a statement to newsrooms.

And ODM National Elections Board officials yesterday appeared to discredit the clearance of two ODM parliamentary candidates by the electoral commission.

The election board chairman Franklin Bett and Judy Pareno (secretary) separately swore affidavits denouncing the nomination of two parliamentary candidates and dozens of county representative nominees.

But IEBC chairman Ahmed Issack Hassan defended the commission, saying the nomination of Mr Omondi Anyanga and Mr Junet Mohammed as ODM parliamentary candidates for Nyatike and Suna East, respectively was done according to the law.

"The list we used was brought to us by Janet Ongera and we have scanned it and posted it on our website. ODM has been trying to change the list they brought to us on January 21 but the commission said no. Here we follow the law," Mr Hassan said.
