Migori county Assembly members have warned the government to stop
intimidating the opposition.

Speaking when they visited the victims of Elninho rains at Nyora and Kabuto over the weekend, three MCAs, Boaz Okoth, George Omamba, and Erick Gogo said everyone has a right to criticize the wrong doing by the government and that should not be seen as attack.

Boaz Okoth, the Interim Migori County Assembly speaker said it is not fair for any leader to be intimidated for questioning a process of the government.

“I am a politician but am also criticize those e who hate criticism should not lead, what the opposition wants is clear and it is not an individual thinking it is a collective one,” he said.

This comes just days after Cord Party Leader Raila Odinga was summoned to face the Ethics and Anti Corruption Commission or face a charge.

North Kanyamkago ward representative George Omamba however warned the government to stop intimidating leaders who have expressed their thought s to help Kenyans.

“We are not happy to see some leaders using old political tactics of threats and intimidations towards opposition; everyone should be free to speak their minds, as a group we will not allow that”. He said.

Recently the opposition led by Cord Leader Raila Odinga have questioned the Jubilee government over numerous corruption allegations including the former cabinet secretary Anne Waiguru’s saga.

“We saw how the opposition dealt with Waiguru issue and later in the
day every Kenyan realised how the whole process was rotten and now
this are not propaganda but the truth to Kenyans”.  Kanyarwanda MCA
Erick Gogo said.

The leaders promised to support the opposition in the push for
referendum to help bring more funds in the county government.

“When the referendum issue will be brought to our assembly, we will
overwhelmingly pass it through,” Boaz said.
