Welcome To Migori,Kenya

"I sincerely thank you for the time you have taken to view this site. You are part of the many we count on their support to help us build and lift the living standard of our people.You may be asking aloud what role you could play to fully participate. As a people, we are faced with arrays of issues, some of which we have struggled to solve. Many others seem to be weighing down the spirits of our people and require greater involvement of the government, donors, partners, friends and well-wishers.We need clean water.
Our people still drink contaminated water from streams and they walk long distances in search of water. Waterborne diseases have continuously ravaged us, killing many silently. With adequate funding, we could sink more boreholes in homes, schools, and in central places to ease the crisis as well as provide people with clean water for domestic use.
One of the challenges of the 21st century is illiteracy.
Most rural schools in Kenya are poorly equipped and Migori is no exception. Over the years, the government has abdicated their role to build schools and provide learning materials to schools. With most families living below $1 a day, the pressing issue is to feed the family and meet other basic needs. Our children are attending school on empty stomachs, in dilapidated structures and without required texts. If we were to compete and create great scholars for the future, the challenges facing our young learners ought to be addressed now than later. This is where we bank on your support. Your generosity will help buy books, build schools and even pay fees for children from the underprivileged families. Remember, it is never too late to mobilize your friends, community, your congregation and even employees to help us in this noble course.
Your network is an asset to us.To date we are overwhelmed by the increasing number of orphans, many left to fend for themselves at an early age. Over the years, the community has given foster support to the orphans. Churches and influential people within the community have provided generously to help the kids. But today we live in hard times and the support for orphaned kids continue to dwindle. Their future is bleak and some may never see the inside of a classroom. Soon they will turn to criminals and targets of traffickers. Like other children they cry for support, comfort and love. I count on your feeling and love and your ability to extend a helping hand to the underprivileged.
Be blessed for your your willingness to help.I appeal to you, your friends and people known to you to join hands with me to provide hope to the poor, the sick and orphans.
As you reflect on the many possible ways to help, also feel free to introduce many more to us. Introduce your friends, charitable organizations, corporations. We count on them to move forward as we exetend your generosity to the needy.May the good lord bless your hands for being a cheerful giver. Thank you"

Parliament debates demolition,Syokimau

Parliament debates Land Fraud, Sykimau

It was a heated debate in parliament (11/15/2001), when the fiery legislator, who is also the Narc Kenya chairperson and presidential flag bearer sought to know why the government was impoverishing Kenyan, through unprecented demolition of settlements. A recent case in mind was the ongoing demolitions of palatal houses by the Kenya airports authority, constructions which were authorized by the fast growing Mavoko municipality.
A section of MPs were accused of colluding with fraudsters to allocate Kenyans public land.
Although the legislators were not named, Cabinet ministers James Orengo and Amos Kimunya imputed that some MPs who appeared not to want the truth of the Syokimau allocations to come out had worked in league with some known groups that allocated land to the people who in turn built homes that were demolished by the government at the weekend.
The Lands and Transport ministers, amidst interruption to their contributions by MPs in Parliament, said all the documents including title deeds issued to the victims of Syokimau demolitions were all fake.
“All of these papers that have been flying around are fake and do not exist in the ministry. I am prepared to prove to this House that they are all forgeries and all the documents that have been tabled before this House must be interrogated,’’ Mr Orengo said.
The minister spoke in reference to documents tabled by Kathiani MP Wavinya Ndeti and her Embakasi counterpart Ferdinard Waititu intended to prove that the allocations were done legally and the plot owners had documents of ownership from the Lands Ministry and rate payments from the Mavoko Municipal Council.
But Mr Orengo described as fraudsters a company by the Mlolongo Brothers and Uungani, saying they sold land to unsuspecting buyers using fake documents.By the time of writing this story, the alleged frausters, who have operated for years had not been arrested, while families whose houses were mowed down were spending another night in the cold.
He said all the land in which the houses stood was owned by the Kenya Airports Authority and had never been exercised.
Saying he did not support the manner in which the Syokimau buyers were evicted, the minister called for the arrest of “those who have caused this misery and affliction to Kenyans.’’
He said there were known cases where people who were no longer employees of ministries using letters purpoted to have been signed by the minister to defraud.
Said Mr Kimunya: “I am very saddened by these people who do not want the truth. The truth is clear there is a court order saying there is no development.
“There are MPs in this House who are friends of the crooks and are coming to the House to protect their ill gotten wealth. Instead of seeking the truth, all they are giving us are rude interruptions.”
He explained that KAA went to court in 2004 to seek an order restraining any settlement on its lands. Mr Kimunya asked MPs to lead from the front, in discouraging people from encroaching on government land “because they are poor.’’
The two spoke during a heated debate on the issue, raised by Gwasi MP John Mbadi to discuss the Syokimau as a matter of national importance.
The MPs were mainly concerned by what they described as a callous, inhuman and heartless manner in which the government demolished houses on the controversial land.
