Interior Principal Secretary Dr Raymond Omollo has challenged leaders opposed to the Kenya Kwanza administration to account for their achievements and tell Kenyans what they have done for the country.
Omollo said it was unreasonable for Kenyans to rally behind leaders who, despite holding senior political positions for years, had little to show in terms of tangible development.
Speaking during a consultative meeting with members of the Got K’omollo clan at his home in Kanyipir, Homa Bay County, over the weekend, the PS urged the Luo community to rally behind President William Ruto and support his bid for a second term.
He took aim at several opposition figures, challenging them to demonstrate how they had transformed the lives of ordinary Kenyans.
“Tell us what Rigathi has done for Kenyans. If it is Kalonzo, for all these years, what has he done for Kenyans when the President is the one building the road leading to his home? Sifuna was just elected the other day; what has he done for Nairobi people?”
Omollo also questioned the record of Siaya Governor James Orengo, noting that he had been in leadership for decades but, in his view, had little to show compared with the development agenda being pursued by the Kenya Kwanza administration.
The PS argued that Ruto had raised the bar for leadership by prioritising areas he said had historically been marginalised and overlooked in national development.
He called on the Luo community to support the President’s 2027 re-election bid, saying the administration had demonstrated a commitment to extending development to regions that had remained underserved since independence.
Omollo also urged grassroots mobilisers to take accurate information about government programmes and services to communities, saying informed citizens were better placed to benefit from state initiatives and participate meaningfully in development.
He made the remarks during a consultative engagement with grassroots mobilisers involved in civic education work across Homa Bay County. The discussions focused on strengthening public awareness, community mobilisation and access to government programmes, policies and development initiatives.
“We emphasised the importance of taking accurate information to the grassroots, mobilising communities to access Government services and programmes, and ensuring citizens remain informed and actively engaged in the development of their county,” Omollo said.
He also hosted members of the Got K’omollo clan in a meeting aimed at strengthening unity, advancing shared development interests and promoting the welfare of the community.
“The river becomes mighty because the small streams agree to flow in one direction,” he said, emphasising the importance of unity in driving community progress.
