The Orange Democratic Movement (ODM) has received with profound shock news of the brutal murder of the party's Chairman of the Kisumu Town West sub-branch Mr. Shem Onyango Kwega in Kisumu town this morning.
Mr. Kwega was a dedicated official, who served the party diligently and with loyalty. His killing by unknown assailants this morning outside Mamba Hotel in Kisumu town is a big blow to the party and to the party followers who elected him to serve them as their chairman in last year's grassroots elections.
His killing comes in the wake of cries of increasing cases of insecurity in Kisumu and it's environs, a situation that has become a major concern to the residents of the Lakeside town.
We condole with the family of the Late Mr. Kwega and pray for the quick recovery of his wife, who was injured during the shooting and rushed to Aga Khan Hospital in Kisumu.
The ODM calls on the government to investigate the motive behind the murder of Mr. Kwega and bring the culprits to book. The ODM also calls on the government intensify security in Kisumu and the surrounding areas to avoid the brewing tension among the residents.
Security is a basic human right and we urge the government to provide security to every corner of this country especially during this electioneering period.
Prof. P. Anyang' Nyong'o.
Secretary General.
ODM.
