This man Okoth Obado! We dissect Obado’s life, times and the Controversies Surrounding the Migori Governor.
Friends and foes, alike, concede that the current Migori Governor, Okoth Obado, is a political schemer with widespread grassroots support, having been a farmer and teacher for many years. The embattled Migori County boss, has been through thick and thin times, before. And, each time he has come out ‘victorious’. The million dollar question is, ‘will he survive the latest onslaught over his involvement with the slain Rongo University Student- Sharon Otieono?’. He is the most talked about personality in Kenya today.
OBADO’S DOCUMENTED EARLY LIFE
- Obado grew up in Uriri Sub-county in Migori and attended the famous St Joseph’s Rapogi before joining Kenyatta University where he trained as a teacher, having taken a Bachelor of Arts in Education and a Masters of Strategic Management. He was employed by the Teachers’ Service Commission at Taranganya Boys High School in Kuria. He was later transferred to his last station located in his home constituency, Rapogi, where he exited the service to join the private business sector.
- He is married to Hellen Obado, together with whom they have three children. (With 2 of the known Children being: Jerry Okoth(son) and Evalyne Okoth (Daughter)
OBADO’S CAREER LIFE
- November 12th 2010: Was Appointed Chairman of Kenya Sugar Board By Then Minister Of Agriculture S. J. Kosgey
- 4 March 2013: Elected as the first Governor of Migori County through People’s Democratic Party (PDP) against the ODM wave. Contesting on a small known People’s Democratic Party (PDP), he went on to trounce ODM’s candidate Oyugi Akong’o, even after the High Court ordered a recount. Obado soldiered on against an onslaught from ODM ward representatives and party officials who tried to impeach him at every available opportunity.
- 8 August 2017: Re-elected for the second term as the Governor of Migori County through the Orange Democratic Party (ODM). In the 2017 elections, Obado faced one of his most formidable opponents, former Energy Minister Ochillo Ayacko, who gave him a run for his money in a campaign marred by scenes of violence that saw the two summoned to Nairobi by the ODM disciplinary committee. A few weeks to the 2017 elections, violence broke out at Migori’s Posta grounds, leaving many people injured after supporters clashed. Among those injured were bodyguards of senior ODM leaders. Ayacko and Suna East MP Junet Mohammed quickly blamed Obado for the violence, but the governor denied any involvement. The Party’s disciplinary committee fined Obado Sh2 million for the violence, saying it had established that it was his supporters who stormed the meeting.
Despite the shaky relationship with ODM leadership, a determined Obado went ahead to win the chaotic party primaries, forcing Ayacko to decamp and contest against him as an independent candidate. Ayacko lost to Obado in the main election, filed a petition in High Court and lost that too. He went to the Court of Appeal, which threw out the case.
OBADO, THE CONTROVERSIAL SCHEMER.
Governor Okoth Obado in not devoid of controversies:
- During his term, he was rocked with accusations of flaws in procurement procedures in his administration coupled with the alleged embezzlement of public funds. In one of the most controversial deals, Obado was accused of procuring a bed worth Kshs1 Million using public resources but he refuted the claims as a narrative sponsored by his opponents.
- On procurement of vehicles worth Sh231million, the purchase included ambulance from Toyota Kenya who mainly deal in pick-ups but require upfront payment if one requires a different vehicle like in this case, an ambulance.
- It has also emerged that the governor had a fling with Rhoda Odie Nyakwaka, the stepsister of his wife, Migori First Lady Hellen Obado. The First Lady and Rhoda are born of the same father who got the latter after inheriting her widowed mother in Kadika village of Suna Central sub-county.
- In November 26, 2017: Migori Governor Okoth Obado was forcefully ejected from a KQ plane after one of his security guards mishandled a weapon during handover to flight crew leading to the pistol discharging. According to witnesses at the airport, the governor was accompanied by at least two guards when he was boarding 13:00 KQ 656 to Kisumu with his guards.
- Mr Obado was at it again when he openly opposed ODM, and by extension Mr Odinga’s choice of Mr Ayacko to run for the vacant Migori senatorial seat following the death of former radio broadcaster Ben Oluoch Okelo mid this year.
- Obado, the schemer, is in murky waters again! Okoth Obado has been charged in court with aiding and abetting the brutal murder of his ex-girlfriend, a pregnant student. But, Obado has vehemently refuted any involvement in the killing of Sharon Otieno. “As a law-abiding citizen, I want to state here clearly and categorically that I have nothing and absolutely nothing to do with the cruel death of Sharon,” the governor was quoted by local media as saying.
If Obado wades through the murky waters and come out unscathed, then and only then, he will own the tag of being ‘a smart Schemer’ to posterity. Already, protests have been held in Migori, probing for the immediate release of the Governor.’

NASA cracks the whip on 16 MPs who refused to support Uhuru’s VAT bill
The National Super Alliance, NASA, has cracked the whip on 16 Members of parliament who defied the coalition’s position in the National assembly to support President Uhuru Kenyatta’s memorandum on the finance bill of 2018 that has since been signed into law. In a letter to national assembly speaker, Hon. Justin Muturi, minority whip Junet Mohammed has removed Hon. Opiyo Wandayi from the Agriculture and Livestock committee. Also de-whipped is Hon. TJ Kwajwang who has been removed from the constitution and oversight committee, Justus Kizito from the National security committee. Others facing removal are: Gideon Mulyungi from the Public investments committee, Tindo Mwale from the Public investments committee, Christopher Asike from the Budget and appropriations committee.
Abdulswamad Shariff, Catherine Wabilyanga and Mohamed Lokiro have been axed from the Delegated Legislations, Services & Facilities and the National Cohesion committees, respectively. Also axed are Bunyasi Sakwa (Public accounts), Charles Mose (Delegated Legislations), Silvance Osoro (Defence and Foreign relations) and James Mukwe (Constituency Development Fund).
To complete the long list are: Makali Mulu who loses the Selection committee slot, Alfred Sambu who has been removed from the Finance and National planning committee and Ferdinand Wanyonyi who will no longer sit in the Trade, Industry and Cooperatives committee. The axed Legislators vehemently refused to endorse president Uhuru’s VAT amendments but which were controversially passed in parliament, few weeks ago. The latest move could bring more trouble at the NASA coalition with a section of Legislatures warming up towards the deputy president’s 2022 presidential bid.

ODM Party’s Disciplinary Committee Summons 10 Members over gross misconduct
Five Kenyan Senators to fly to Japan to watch the FIVB World volleyball championship.
It is emerging out that the Speaker of the Senate, Hon. Kenneth Lusaka, has cleared five Senators to watch the FIVB Women’s World Volleyball championship that kicks off on Saturday, in Japan.
The five Senators: Christophet Lagat(Bomet), Irungu Kang’ata(Murang’a) and nominated Senators: Christine Zawadi, Beatrice Kwamboka and Victor Prengei.
Kenya’s Malkia Stikers are participating at this year’s championship, alongside compatriots, Cameroon.
The five Senators will each pocket a whooping Kshs. 1.2 Million for the two weeks. This is in accordance with the Parliamentary’s Service Commission rates where members are paid Kshs. 100,000 while on international trips. Their air tickets costs will also be footed by the ex chequer.
Surprisingly, the Kenyan players who are participating in championship were each paid Sh80,000 for the three weeks they will be in Tokyo. This means each player will get a per diem of just Ksh. 3,800.
The latest development comes after the Speaker to the National Assembly, Justin Muturi, turned down a request by 10 Legislators to also fly to Tokyo, Japan, to witness the games.
