Tough Test Awaits Charles Owino, in Siaya Gubernatorial Contest, as he Plans to Resign and Join Politics

Police spokesman Charles Owino will expectedly face a serious backlash from Siaya residents as he plans to succeed Governor Cornell Rasanga. Siaya people might not have forgotten how the tough-talking cop defended the police who unleashed terror to ODM during the times of street protests.
Owino revealed that he will seek early retirement on December to venture into politics and contest as a governor for Siaya in 2022. Siaya being an ODM stronghold, he will definitely seek an ODM ticket.
When Raila Odinga’s ODM was contesting against electoral injustices, the police was heavily deployed to thwart demonstrators. Police were largely accused of using excessive force which resulted to numerous extra-judicial killings.
Owino was also seen defending the police who were using excessive force to unleash terror to civilians who contravened state-sanctioned Covid-19 regulations such as being found out during curfew hours and not wearing masks.
“I never wanted to declare my political interest here today but because my father has reminded who am I not to show you a direction, you are aware that next year people will declare interests in various positions and as a person who has worked in the government my age will have clocked 50 which allows me to resign,” stated Owino.
He added: “I know that the seat will attract many contestants including Senator Orengo and I hope he and other possible candidates are much prepared for the race or else they will be disappointed at the ballot box.”

Why Matiang'i comeback threatens Ruto's re-election bid

Matiang'i is set to give Ruto a run for his money, owing to his track record as a cabinet secretary in the previous regime.  Former President Uhuru Kenyatta trusted Matiang'i more than any other cabinet secretary due to his workaholic nature and might be forced to finance his presidential quest.  The former Interior CS is reportedly eyeing the presidential seat on a Jubilee ticket, as alluded by the party's secretary general Jeremiah Kioni. Ruto's dalliance with the doyen of opposition politics and ODM party leader Raila Odinga had complicated the opposition's quest to unseat the sitting Head of State. Matiang'i comeback seals the vaccum left by Raila's departure. Why Ruto might lose Kenya's presidential seat in 2027 Ahead of 2022 general elections in Kenya , President William Ruto promised Kenyans heaven on Earth onl...

Public Seal transfer: Inside Ruto's plot to secretly sell State Parastatals

  The reason why the Public Seal was allegedly transferred from the Attorney General office to the Chief of Staff in the office of the President of Kenya is yet to be known with quite a number of contradictory remarks. Phode News Hub delved deeper and unearthed imponderable dirty corrupt schemes and conspiracy to privatize State parastatals through illegitimate means.  Lawyer Ndegwa Njiru alleged that the Public Seal is in the custody of the Head of Public Service, Felix Kipatarus Koskei. All commercial engagements and accords will allegedly be sealed by Koskei on behalf of Kenya government. Kenya is glaring at the risks of  being auctioned by a person who lacks the legal knowledge to discern what should be sealed and what should not. According to the Attorney General Act 2012, Section 28 specifically provides that, “The Attorney-General shall have custody of the public seal of the Republic of Kenya." Standard Media exclusively reported that President William Ruto sec...
