The water and irrigation cabinet secretary Eugene Wamalwa allegedly sponsoring youths together with the ODM former secretary general Ababu Namwamba to cause havoc in the Former prime minister rallies in western Kenya. The CORD trip dubbed as “OKOA WESTERN” has many challenges as most of the party withdrawal comes from the region.
There was a clear standoff of the CORD rally at Shibale, Mumias after a group of people descended on the rally and caused chaos. The anti- CORD descended with Rungus, machetes and other forms of weapons to disrupt the rally. Police were forced to lob teargas canisters to disperse the ant-CORD groups to avoid any further confrontations.
It has been seen that a group of members of parliaments from the area which walked out of CORD are behind the chaos and frustration. The rallies were mostly in the areas where most of the M.Ps withdrew their membership from CORD. The youths who were dispersed by the police have a slogan named “No Raila in western”. He is set to address supporters at the Mumias Bus Park before holding rallies in Shianda and Musanda today before evening. The camp that Hon. Raila Odinga and the CORD team was intended to change the notion in the area of CORD politics and the 2017 general elections.
