Yesterday, in the Milimani area, we witnessed a scene that has no place in our county: two organised groups of youth set against each other, resulting in the deaths of two young men. Property was destroyed, including a motor vehicle and no fewer than nine motorcycles and the peace of the neighbourhood was shattered.
As Co-Chair of the County Security Authority alongside County Commissioner Mohammed Ramadhan Mwabudzo, we met and provide this update: Eight suspects are already in custody and the judicial process is underway.
Since our last briefing to the media on security, two hundred suspects have been apprehended across Kisumu County and investigations into their involvement in criminal activities are ongoing. They will, in due course, be arraigned in court.
We spend our nights negotiating with investors, creating the conditions for employment and enterprise, yet some among our youth allow themselves to be bought for a pittance to burn, intimidate, and destroy the very future we are trying to construct for them. It is a betrayal not only of themselves but of every honest citizen who gets up each morning to earn a living.
To those who finance and orchestrate this violence: you are not invisible. He who rides a tiger eventually discovers that the greatest danger lies not in mounting it but in trying to dismount. Your time is coming.
To our young people: the path of a hired thug leads nowhere, but the path of lawful work, of patience, of building something durable secures a future.
Kisumu will remain a county where business thrives, where mothers walk to market without fear, and where public order is not a favour we request but a condition we enforce.
Single motherhood, religion and education have caused this problem. Blaming alcohol is like blaming a gun for shooting someone. This is the same issue in the black hoods in America where single motherhood is rife
Madame Celeste Amarilla,
Vous รชtes une femme mรฉprisable et indigne de sa fonction.
Vous ne reprรฉsentez pas le Paraguay, ce pays qui a transpirรฉ la passion et lโhonneur tout au long de la compรฉtition. Par votre inconscience et votre racisme dรฉcomplexรฉ, le monde entier a dรฉjร oubliรฉ le parcours et lโeffort historique que vos joueurs ont rรฉalisรฉs durant cette coupe du monde pour laisser place ร une dame incompรฉtente donnant la pire image possible de son pays.
Je ne laisserai jamais aux gens comme elle, la libertรฉ de laisser propager leur haine et leur racisme ร travers le monde.
Richard Onyonka to Opiyo Wandayi: We are not angry because you are eating. We are angry because you are eating money that is supposed to help our most vulnerable #CitizenDayBreak
