“No More Violence, PS Omolo Tells Migori Politicians as Region Backs Ruto’s Re-Election Bid”
By Duncan Ammon
The Principal Secretary (PS) for Interior, Raymond Omolo, has issued a stern warning to politicians in Migori County, urging them to shun violence and allow for peaceful campaigns ahead of the 2027 general elections.
Speaking at a peace meeting and ID registration drive in Masara, Omolo emphasised that political differences should not lead to bloodshed among residents, particularly among the youth.
“We have agreed with the leaders of Migori County that, going forward, our political differences will not be the reason why our youths are fighting, or why our sons are stabbing each other with knives or burning vehicles and houses,” he said.
The meeting, attended by Governor Ochilo Ayacko, elected leaders, and aspiring politicians from Migori County, resolved to give each other space to campaign freely and without violence. Omolo urged supporters to avoid gatherings of politicians they do not support, and instead focus on promoting peace and unity in the region.
Omolo announced that the people of Migori will vote as a bloc for President Ruto’s re-election in 2027, citing development projects undertaken by the government in the region, including road construction, affordable housing, employment of teachers and other government employees, and electricity connections.
“We will not allow any politician to tell us not to support the broad-based government because this is where the people and the leaders have decided to be,” Omolo said, referencing the late Raila Odinga’s legacy.
He also encouraged residents who have not registered for IDs to take advantage of the free registration exercise initiated by President Ruto.
The event was marked by a show of unity among Migori leaders, who pledged to work together to promote peace and development in the region.
