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).

GOVERNOR CYPRIAN AWITI EXPLAINS HIS DEVELOPMENT ROAD MAP

The County Government of Homa Bay has promised to scale up supply of clean water, faster delivery of health services, an improved infrastructure and improved electricity supply.
Governor Cyprian Awiti said Water, Health and good road network were his major priorities as he marked 20 months in office.
Speaking at this year’s Jamhuri day at the Homa Bay Stadium, Mr Awiti said work was already going on various water projects within the county.
He said the construction of the 12km road network within all the 40 wards were going on, adding that the national government had finally agreed to tarmac the Kendu Bay –Oyugis and Mbita-Sindo-Magunga-Sori road from next year.
“We are only 20 months old in the office but we are trying our best. Our work has been slowed down by dismal allocation of funds from the national government. Sh 2.2 billion of the Sh 4.9 we get goes to wages of staff we inherited from the defunct Local authorities,” said Mr Awiti.
He added: “The remainder is what we have to share with the County Assembly and recurrent expenditure, living very little for development,” he said.
The governor also announced that the County will soon have a fully-fledged University to be named Tom Mboya Memorial University.
“We are currently discussing the issue of the 80 acre land where the university will be built. Two distinguished scholars from this County are helping in this matter,” said Mr Awiti.
The governor who was accompanied by his Deputy, Hamilton Orata, County Commissioner Naftali Mungathia and County Assembly Speaker Samuel Ochilo asked for patience as he pushes members of his executive committee to speed up the implementation of projects.

“I am promising the people of Homa bay today that we will deliver on all promises we made. I know our people want us to eradicate this poverty. Our people have been suffering for the past 51 years but no one can improve the situation in just 20 months. We need a little more time. We have made the road map. We have laid the infrastructure. I promise that we will do it.”
On politics, Mr Awiti said his government will not take sides in the on-going by-election campaigns to replace the fallen Homa Bay Senator- Otieno Kajwang’. “We will work with whoever will win the by-election. I am appealing to those campaigning to maintain peace.

After the Viral Pastor Kanyari’s Scandal, Robert Alai Reveals Rev. Cathy Kiuna’s Furnished Home Which he Says Is Built on People’s Sweat (Photos)

KTN opened Pandora’s Box when they exposed pastor Kanyari conning his faithful and now it seems the clergy are on the receiving end attracting wrath from various quarters.

 

If things keep on going this way, Kenyan clergy will certainly be forced to account for their wealth as now most Kenyans are probably thinking they are only reaping big from their congregations’ sweat. The internet guru himself Robert Alai is the first to jump on this bandwagon. Alai being a social media screamer, he poked fun on reverend Allan and Cathy Kiuna house which he says is a manifestation of people's proceeds.

“What Allan and Cathy Kiuna have built from your sweat while you are still waiting for some white God to come rescue you” Alai wrote on his social media handle referring to Kiuna’s house. So is it true some well known clergy are stealing in the name of the lord?

Robert Alai: I Am Not Promising To Buy You Drinks But Please Come And Enjoy The Kuku Till You Drop Dead.

Social media screamer Robert Alai has offered to treat his fans with a one in a lifetime party at Carnivore.

Are you somewhere within Nairobi and its environs? Well if you have no plans for supper better start preparing your stomach for some really tasty chicken at Carnivore Restaurant as from 6 pm today. Yes you have heard it, all Luhyas better make it quick as Alai's chicken is waiting for you free of charge. But why is Alai offering a free meal to his fans?
Alai will be celebrating his birthday tonight and has ultimately offered to treat his fans or anyone who can make it to Carnivore Restaurant by 6:30 pm. You better make it quick lest he changes his mind; you all know Alai, you can never predict his moves

Forget The Kiunas, Muirus and Kanyaris. This ‘Prophet’ and His Wife Own An 89M Kshs Lamborghini, Ferrari, Bentley And A Private Jet! (Photo)

People got so worked up over the 12 Million Shillings Wedding Muiru allegedly threw for his daughter, the opulent mansion the Kiunas own and Kanyari’s Range Rover. 

But when compared to Zimbabwean, Prophet Uebert Angel’s insane wealth, these three are paupers.
Prophet Uebert Angel Mudzanhiri, founder of Spirit Embassy this year bought a spanking new Ferrari for his wife Beverly much to the vexation of skeptical Zimbabweans.

Uebert and Beverly
And if that is not enough, he also owns a Lamborghini Aventador,Bentley and apparently a private jet in a country that is distressed by poverty.
“Have I imported a Lamborghini? I have a Lamborghini. I am not a hypocrite, I tell you what I have,” Prophet Uebert Angel once told the Daily News

He does not even hide it, he flaunts it in the faces of his wide-eyed followers most of whom suffer from extreme poverty, surviving on below a dollar a day.Uebert is not the only big spender in his family,his wife Beverly once forked out 1000 dollars for a book. A Book!

But he doesn't keep the wealth to himself as witnessed when he donated a Range Rover to one of his followers

BREAKING: ODM appoints Long time Raila ALLY Wafula Buke acting party Executive Director

Comrade Wafula Buke has been appointed the acting Executive Director of the Orange Democratic Movement. Buke will steer the party ahead of disciplinary hearings against former executive Director Magerer Langat.
Buke is the Director of Strategy of ODM and a long time Raila ally.
A decision to subject Mr Magerer to disciplinary hearings was reached when the party’s NEC met to discuss the conduct of Nairobi MCAs who ejected him out of the CORD coalition meeting at Orange House.
Buke said he has the blessing of party leader Raila Odinga.
“Call him right now, you will be surprised by what he will tell you. He is fully aware,” he said.
Buke said all four directors have endorsed him, but during the meeting, only two, Rosemary Kariuki and Phil Etale, were present.
Buke and Kariuki are Raila’s close allies.
Etale, the Communications director, avoided the briefing saying he was not part of it.
A NEC meeting on Tuesday formed a disciplinary committee, chaired by lawyer Fred Athok, and gave it 10 days to complete the inquiry and report back to the NEC. The supreme organ will then make a ruling on Magerer’s status.
Other members of the committee are former Deputy Speaker Farah Maalim Mohammed, Harold Kipchumba, Mombasa county women’s rep Mishi Mboko Juma and Halima Daro.
Magerer snubbed the meeting convened to deliberate on the circumstances under which rowdy Nairobi MCAs frog-marched him from a Cord meeting at Orange House last week and dumped him outside the main gate.
“Magerer did not attend, although he was invited. The NEC has resolved to institute a team that will look into serious disciplinary issues that have been raised against the executive director,” secretary general Anyang’ Nyong’o told the press after the meeting.
Raila, who chaired the crisis talks, drove out of Orange House immediately after the meeting and did not attend the press briefing.
The party Tuesday imposed a collective fine of Sh100,000 on the 10 MCAs who attacked Magerer but said the allegations levelled against him are serious.
Magerer’s future in ODM now hangs in the balance after the NEC hinted that its five-member team will look at the “serious” allegations against him in making a decision.
