Muhoroni Residents: ODM leader Raila Odinga was on Monday heckled in Muhoni when he tried to address residents. Raila had paid a visit to the proposed special economic zone site in Ombeyi, which turned chaotic after some residents held protests.
The protesting localsย claimed their ancestral land was reverted to the Kisumu Municipal Council after torrential rains pounded the region, flooding the area for months in the early 1980s.
Controversial lawyer Miguna Miguna has in turn cheered the locals for interrupting Railaโs speech. He argued that they should not allow anyone to grab your land, whether it is President Uhuru Kenyatta, his opposition counterpart Raila or an โamorphous thing called โGovernmentโ.
