NAIROBI, KENYA: The Coalition for
Reforms and Democracy has condemned
brutal murder of the parents of Nyakach
Member of Parliament Aduma Owuor.
The Coalition termed the incident
unfortunate linking it to the MPs
continued war against cattle rustling in
the area.
“We are informed that arsonists who are
believed to be cattle rustlers from the
neighborhood were on revenge mission
following Aduma's hard stand on the vice
and attacked his homestead, hacked his
mother to death and torched the house
burning his father beyond recognition,”
said CORD.
“It will be recalled that three months ago
Mr. Aduma protested at the escalating
cases of insecurity in his constituency but
was instead charged in court for
incitement.”
“The government must take pleas by
elected leaders seriously and stop
treating them as mere gimmicks to gain
political mileage.”
Aduma has been on the warpath against
cattle rustling, which is rampant in the
area and his effort to restore security for
his constituents has cost him dearly,
robbing him of his dear parents and
causing wanton destruction to property.
CORD urged the government to ensure
security for all its citizens especially in
crime prone areas, flush out criminal
elements and subject them to the full
force of the law.
The parents of Nyakach MP Aduma Owuor
were killed in their home by arsonists in
shocking incident.
The elderly couple’s house was torched in
the killing at Kabete Village, Kisumu
County that is believed to have taken
place at around 10pm.
Francis Owuor, 83, and his wife Mary, 65,
died on Thursday night after the attack,
believed to have been carried out by
three people.
Owuor’s body was burnt beyond
recognition, he was reportedly beaten to
death. She had cut and bruises on the
face.
