Businessman Noah Ochola’s
entry into the Homa-Bay Town parliamentary seat has caused panic in the area MP
Opondo Kaluma camp. Sources well versed with Homa-Bay town politics revealed
that Ochola’s candidature has been overwhelmingly received across the
constituency.
Ochola who is yet to
launch his campaigns has been holding consultative meetings meeting opinion leaders,
elders, women and youth leaders across the constituency and who have pledged to
vote for him first to clinch the ODM ticket then to the main general elections
slated for August 2017.
Campaigning under the
slogan “Saa Oromo” which translates to mean “It’s Time”, he has pledged to be
the servant of the electorate and promising to launch his campaign agenda after
further consultations with Homa-Bay Town stake holders.
Although he is making
debut in elective politics, political analysts say for the short time he has
been touring the constituency, his candidature has been well received as voters
see him as a man who can deliver the Homa-Bay people from the poor leadership.
Even before his entry
into the race, he is known to have been assisting the electorate in a number of
development projects including conducting harambees for schools and churches. The
Kaluma camp is said to have retreated to the drawing board since Ochola’s entry
has caught them off guard and considering the support he has received even
before campaign proper begins, for Ochola, it is all systems go, a move that
has been discussed as unstoppable.
