Otiende Amollo Alleges Assassination Plot, Reveals Details of Blue Subaru Giving Him Sleepless Nights

Rarieda Member of Parliament Otiende Amollo has taken to his official social media accounts to allege that there is a plan to assassinate him.

The senior counsel through his Twitter account Wednesday morning claimed that police officers operating from Kabete Police Station have been tasked to eliminate him.

According to the lawmaker who is part of the Azimio la Umoja-One Kenya Coalition party team that is supposed to engage in bipartisan talks with the ruling Kenya Kwanza coalition team, the alleged operatives are using a blue Subaru.

The alleged Subaru bears KBZ 373X as Registration details but the same, Otiende says, does not reflect at the National Transport and Safety Authority (NTSA).

He went ahead to allege that his security has been withdrawn for the same purpose, but affirmed that he was not afraid.

“So They’ve Tasked Shadowy Operatives In M/V KBZ 373 X Blue Subaru To Eliminate Me! A Vehicle On The Road But No Records At NTSA, But Operates From Kabete Police Station! And They Withdraw My Security For The Purpose! Well, I’m Not Afraid. History Is Replete With Martyrs,” he tweeted.

On Tuesday, May 2, 2023, the opposition leaders among them the Azimio la Umoja-One Kenya coalition party leader Raila Odinga had their security withdrawn.

This is after the opposition’s planned protests in Nairobi flopped, with Raila and his team accusing the President William Ruto-led government of hiring goons to destroy property and blame it on the opposition.

Addressing the media from the Jaramogi Oginga Odinga Foundation offices in Upper Hill, Narc Kenya party leader Martha Karua fingered Trade CS Moses Kuria and Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua for the chaos witnessed.

A public service vehicle was torched along Ngong Road by unknown people. Another truck was torched along the Southern bypass with goons disguising as protesters.

Pack up and Leave if you can’t support BBI, DP Ruto told

Deputy President Dr William Ruto and his allies have been told to pack up and leave if they are not ready to support President Uhuru Kenyatta on the Building Bridges Initiative (BBI)push.

Firing the salvo on Saturday, Rarieda MP Otiende Amollo asked the DP and his allies in government to pack up and leave if they are not ready to support the President on the push.

He said Dr Ruto is contradicting the President, who has openly stated that he is supportive of the BBI.

“There is no turning back on the push for reforms, which we know will be ushered in through the BBI initiative. We will only listen to Raila and Uhuru, nobody else,” Mr Amollo said.

Speaking during the burial of freedom fighter Achieng Oneko’s widow, Loice Anyangi, at Kunya village in Rarieda, Siaya County, Otiende Amollo alongside Siaya Senator James Orengo tasked the DP to declare his stand on BBI.

Orengo told Dr Ruto that it was time he told Kenyans whether or not he supports the BBI that followed a truce between President Kenyatta and Orange Democratic Movement leader Raila Odinga, after the prolonged elections season in 2017.

Mr Orengo claimed Dr Ruto is a “fence-sitter” who can’t be trusted with the country’s leadership.

He said it is strange that the DP supports the Constitution yet he opposed its adoption in 2010.

Orengo: Ruto is a “fence-sitter” who can’t be trusted with the country’s leadership

A section of Raila Odinga-led ODM party members are now challenging deputy president Dr William Ruto to declare his stand on the looming Building Bridges Initiative (BBI) proposals.

The lawmakers on Saturday said the DP has been sending mixed signals, leading to speculation that he is opposed to the drive.

The group of six lawmakers led by Senate minority leader and Siaya senator James Orengo tasked Ruto to say whether or not he was supporting BBI, an initiative that was formed by his boss president Uhuru Kenyatta and Raila after the March 9, 2018 handshake.

Orengo said the DP has been sending mixed signals, leading to speculation that he is opposed to the drive.

He further told Dr Ruto that it was time he told Kenyans whether or not he supports the BBI.

Orengo claimed Dr Ruto is a “fence-sitter” who can’t be trusted with the country’s leadership.

He said it is strange that the DP supports the Constitution yet he opposed its adoption in 2010.

“Ruto must declare his stand on the BBI. Those he has lined up to oppose the document must also give us the alternative they’re proposing. Let them put their proposal on the table” the senator said in Rarieda, Siaya County.

Rarieda MP Otiende Amollo fired the first salvo when he asked the DP and his allies in government to pack up and leave if they are not ready to support the President on the BBI push.

Kenya’s Top Lawyers Fault IEBC Over Mariga’s Ruling

Just minutes after the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) cleared Jubilee party’s McDonald Mariga to contest for Kibra parliamentary seat, a section of country’s top lawyers have taken to social media to fault the commission over its ruling.

The commission on Monday morning reversed the verdict of the Kibra Returning Officer and allowed Mr. Mariga to run in the Kibra MNA by election on 7th November, 2019.

But city lawyer Donald Kipkorir and Rarieda MP Otiende Amollo have disagreed with the ruling. Donald Kipkorir has faulted the Wafula Chebukati-led commission for locking out Kibra voters for registration after the seat was declared vacant by National Assembly Speaker Justin Muturi but allowing Mariga, a non-Kibra resident to register.

The flamboyant lawyer says that IEBC’s decision is a “Great Travesty Of Justice”.

“With tremendous respect, I wholly disagree with IEBC ruling on McDonald Mariga. That the law PROHIBITS all residents of Kibra from registering as Voters once the Seat was declared Vacant but allow Outsiders to register as Voters & contest the seat is a Great Travesty Of Justice,” he posted.

Rarieda MP Otiende Amollo who is also one of the country’s top laws has also faulted the commission, calling for Kenyans to kick out the commission for being biased.

“Listening to the Pontifications & Prevarications Of The IEBC Commissioners; It is clear to me, more than before, that we must Sweep the Commission Clean at the Top Levels!” he posted.

Mariga petitioned the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission after Kibra returning officer Beatrice Muli invalidated his nomination on grounds that his name was missing from the register of voters.

Mariga’s legal team led by lawyer Elisha Ongoyi pushed Muli to admit an error on her part and pleaded with the committee to rectify the mistake by overturning the decision.

The seat fell vacant after former MP Ken Okoth died of cancer on July 26 at the Nairobi Hospital.
