Oginga decried the escalating rate of insecurity in Bondo town and called for quick action to arrest the situation.
“The insecurity situation in Bondo town has soared to high levels. The thugs raided my home and made away with all the chickens in my farm. They also raided the home of nominated member of the Siaya county assembly Tabu Osewe and also stole all her chicken stock, including other valuables,” he said.
Criminal activity has been on the rise, including murders and robberies.
“The other day the thugs butchered an innocent man - my own farm attendant - and dumped his body at a nearby dam," Oginga said.
He also recalled how a young man was killed in an estate in Bondo town in the full glare of his family members when they were having dinner. I read this story & was wondering how would you sell 1k kuku stolen without being noticed. Something doesn't add up. You can, just like bags of coffee beans disappearing without trace, or a heard of 1,000 cows varnishing in pokot. To Each His Own

Quote:'Fake President Uhuru' cons Nairobi businessman Sh80 million - Police
Conmen posing as President Uhuru Kenyatta have defrauded a Nairobi businessman of Sh80 million pretending that they would award him with state tenders.
Detectives from the DCI Special Crime Prevention Unit over the weekend arrested seven men believed to be part of the cartel that conned officials from Sameer Group of Companies.
So well organised are the criminals, that they have perfected the art of mimicking the President’s voice to near perfection.
Investigators say the conmen, operate as State House officials.
The caller, who imitates Uhuru and speaks in a voice almost similar to that of the President, tells businessmen of major government works which he asks them to take up.
Read: Four arrested over Sh65 million 'fake' tender
The 'fake President', asks the victim to provide some money for logistical support.
He promises to send some State House officials and other staff from the Interior ministry to the victim’s office to collect the facilitation cash.
Men dressed in expensive suits then arrive in the office of the targeted businessman and introduce themselves as the staff of State House sent by the President to collect cash.
The ‘State House staff’ arrive in high-end vehicles and under police escort. They then collect the cash and disappear.
Highly placed sources familiar with the investigations said rogue police officers from Kilimani police station had been hired to provide security services to the State House imposters.
The con scheme came to light last month after officials from Sameer reportedly wrote to State House seeking an audience with the president over a tender deal.
Shocked State House officials after receiving the letter are said to have contacted the Sameer group official and inquired of the deal between themselves and the ‘fake President Uhuru’.
The arrested men have been identified as Joseph Waswa, Isaac Wajekeche, William Simiyu, David Luganya, Gilbert Kirunja and Anthony Wafula.

Things getting thick.... https://nairobinews.nati...sh10m-fraud-case-lawyer
Quote:Uhuru’s phone number called tycoon in Sh10m fraud case – Lawyer
Lawyer Cliff Ombeta has claimed that the telephone number used to call Sameer Africa boss Naushad Meralli to con him out of Sh10 million belongs to President Uhuru Kenyatta.
Mr Ombetta appeared in court on Tuesday for seven suspects who are facing a charge of conning Mr Meralli by pretending to be President Kenyatta.
It is alleged that they used mobile number 0722 208842 to call Mr Merali, asking him to facilitate the release of the money for the purchase of land, while mimicking the voice of the President.
They pretended the call was from State House in Nairobi.
According to police, Mr Merali was outside the country on a business trip when the fraudsters called him.
He therefore gave complainant Akif Hamid Butt, the Finance Director of Sameer Africa, the go-ahead to process the payment, believing he had spoken to the head of State.
Mr Butt was told that the money was for the purchase of land in Milimani, Nairobi, and the fraudsters gave him the number of an account at Equity Bank, into which he deposited it.

Quote:One of the suspects is a 33-year old IT graduate, Gilbert Kirunja, accused by police of faking President Kenyatta's voice and recently conning magnate Merali out Sh80 million. He lives a life of opulence in Karen, Nairobi.
Kirunja, shocked DCI investigators with his fast-lane living, despite being young and unemployed.
His assets include a 10-bedroom mansion, one of the last things the investigators would have imagined when they raided his home.
The large, ornate metal gates leading to the home made it clear this was no ordinary conman suspect.
Kirunja’s house is sandwiched between other upscale homes. A 60-inch colour television welcomes visitors entering his lounge. The seats are buttery-soft leather. Many of his age mates could only fantasise about this kind of life.
Police said Kirunja is the mastermind of a seven-man gang that conned the Merali.
The IT guru is said to be so skilled that he has perfected mimicking the President’s voice.
And when he picked up his mobile to call Merali on January 14 about a tender, the tycoon had no reason to doubt he caller was not the head of state.
Merali and the 'President' exchanged pleasantries on the phone, then got down to business.
The ‘President informed Merali of a state tender he wanted the well-known businessman to enjoy. But there was a catch. The 'head of state' asked Merali for a small favour before he could embark on the lucrative contract — Sh10 million in advance for facilitation. That presumably was a trifle compared to the tender itself.........
They were handed Sh10 million in cash and drove off.
Police said the same group returned two more times on other days and received more cash, the total Sh80 million.
Yesterday, Director of Public Prosecutions Noordin Haji, through lawyer Edwin Okello, told the court that due to the complexity of the investigations and the number of suspects, including some who are still at large, the investigations will involve voluminous documents including bank documents and call data records.
