IN HOMA BAY IT COSTS KSH. 300,000 TO TALK TO "RAILA ODINGA" ON PHONE. How?

Ok here is the story; There is a businessman in Homabay town aspiring to be an MCA for Homa bay central ward, I will call him Mr. John.
Mr John is one of the few millionaires we have in town, But he is so mean to himself that If you meet him for first time you would think he is not even a 'thousandnaire'. He is always in some cheap mutumba clothes and 'floaters' unajua floaters? Those slippers made of 'mondo' unizijua sasa? Okay. So why would a luo millionaire walk in town putting on floaters despite owning almost half of flats and good buildings in Homa bay town? That's a story for another day.
When the rumour came out that Mr John 'Olap thoge chwer ne kom mar MCA' some known youths from Homa bay went to  a drawing table to draft how they could milk some cash from Mr. John.
So they went Mr John and told him that they would make him talk to Raila Odinga 'on phone' , see in Nyanza talking to Baba is a big plus for any politician.
So everything was well planned and Mr John was given a phone number ya Jakom. He was told  everything was okay and Baba was expecting his call.
So he called, luckily namba ya Baba haikuwa mteja or busy as you would expect. Sema Mr. John kuongea na fake Baba, fake baba gave the phone to Mama Ida (obviously fake one too) pia to say hi to Mr. John.
So the fake mama Ida akaomba 'chai' na akamuambia Mr. John atume na ya Baba pia. The chai was to be given to the 'boys' who arranged the talk. According to 'Mama Ida' the boys knew how the tea would reach them.
So Mr. John called the boys to come to take chai ya Mama Ida wampelekee. 200k for mama Ida and Jakom and 100k for the boys for making him talk to Jakom.
Problem came when Mr. John called Baba to ask Kama amepata chai, Matusi nayo.
As you all know 'Jaluo Oksechi' and gima masengwenya ochamo gi nying Baba ok olal. Mr John is now completing one of his flats in Homa bay town to show jopiny that 'Pesa pod nitie'.

EMPOWERING YOUTHS FOR SOCIAL AND ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT IN HOMA BAY COUNTY.

Definitions of youth have changed continuously in response to fluctuating political, economic and socio cultural circumstances. Young people comprise a social group that faces particular problems and uncertainties regarding its future, problems that relate in part to limited opportunities for appropriate employment. The difficult circumstances that people experience in h-bay County are often even more difficult for young people because of limited opportunities for education and training, viable employment and health and social services, and because of a growing incidence of substance abuse and juvenile delinquency. Their imagination, ideals, considerable energies and vision are essential for the continuing development of the societies in which they live. Thus, there is special need for new impetus to be given to the design and implementation of youth policies and programmes at all levels. The ways in which the challenges and potentials of young people are addressed by policy will influence current social and economic conditions and the well-being and livelihood of future generations.

In today’s world the youth is facing the most of hardships and lack of belongingness within the society. Youth in Homa-bay County and Kenya as a whole constitute a big chunk of the population, yet it remains the most subjugated and marginalized. The difficult circumstances that young people face because of limited opportunities for education and training, viable employment and health and social services, and because of a growing incidence of substance abuse and juvenile delinquency is deteriorating the chance of Kenya’s quest for achieving the status of a developed Nation.. Their imagination, ideals, considerable energies and vision are essential for the continuing development of the societies in which they live.

Young people in all parts of the world, living in countries at different stages of development and in different socio-economic settings, aspire to full participation in the life of society. Young people represent agents, beneficiaries and victims of major societal changes and are generally confronted by a paradox: to seek to be integrated into an existing order or to serve as a force to transform that order.

HOMA BAY COUNTY SENATE ASPIRANT SILAS JAKAKIMBA SHARES HIS MANIFESTO

John Silas Ouko Jakakimba

Great People of Homa-BayCounty;
We started this journey on 10th December, 2014.
My conviction to serve the People of Homa-Bay County has always been premised on the urge to focus on protection of Devolution and powering on the County Development agenda. In this front, I seek to spare no effort in ensuring there is utmost accountability by the County Government on use of devolved resources.
Our folks want to see that public resources are used for the intended purposes and further that employment and business opportunities obtaining within the County Government portray both county- regional and demographic balance.
It is not lost on us that we must closely partner with The County Government to see that its deliverables are achieved for the betterment of the lives of our people. The need for affordable, accessible and quality heath-care has never been more urgent. We will ensure the County Gov. focuses on improving education standards and expanding roads and electricity/ infrastructure coverage.
Most importantly, it is my hope that Homa-Bay County Government will prioritize Food Security and ensure Fishing sector gets the much-deserved attention. We must move from rain-fed to irrigation-based agriculture. All these are possible when we initiate viable Public-Private Partnerships with both CREDIBLE Local and International investors besides budgetary allocations from the County kitty.
Join me on Friday 16th January, 2015, as I present my Nomination Papers to IEBC in Homa-Bay town. From 18th January, to 10th February, 2015, we will roll out across the county to break-down our Manifesto and explain in fair detail, the policy platforms that premise my bid to succeed Senator Gerald Otieno Kajwang' (RIP).
