usia county senator Amos Wako is facing it rough in Busia after resident from all the communities (Teso and Luhya) turned away from him terming him a ‘tribal cocoon’ this comes days after Amos Wako declared that he is not going to support any aspirant in Busia because he ‘bought’ his certificate from ODM and that he stands nothing to lose because after all he has an international job.

Okia Omtata Okoit

Speaking in Busia stadium Amos declared that he is not going to bend down and ask for any support from any one vying for any position in the county.  However there are claims that Amos Wako is fueling the differences between Ojaamong and Otuoma for reasons that after Otuoma takes over he will ask him to revise all the appointments done by ojaamong and revise the boundaries at Nambale, Kapina and Mungatsi where there has been a long term dispute between the Tesos and Lukhyas.

The clan elder from Kwangamoru, Clement Omurocho  said that they are planning to back Okia Omtata Okoit because he is representing the face of Busia county and not one tribe.

Okia Omtata is said to have entered the race for purpose of uniting the Teso community and their counterparts the Luhya who have since lived in peace and shared major town-Busia but only to develop bitter exchange because of Amos Wako’s influence in the county politics.

‘Busia county Needs a leader, who is universal, focused, understands the needs of the people and unites us all. And that leader is Okia Omtata Okoit.’ Said Andrew Amdanyi from Sio Port. ‘We are not going to tolaret Amos Wako’s poor mentorship and leadership, this is not what our children want in the county’ –He added.

Reliable sources indicate that Amos Wako is likely to lose the election to Okia who is currently vying  for Busia County senator position on a FORD KENYA TICKET.
