Speaker George Okode

During this difficult season of grief and loss, we continue to stand with and pray for the family, especially his wife, Emma Atieno Otieno, and their children. May they find strength and comfort as they mourn and celebrate the life of their beloved husband, father, and kin.

Fondly remembered for his kindness, generosity and mentorship to many, the late Sylvester Akumu Otieno was a true champion of education who inspired and encouraged many people to pursue learning and better their lives through education.

Joined family, friends and relatives in Asembo Kanyigoro, Ndori Village, East Asembo Ward, Rarieda, during the solemn occasion of giving a befitting send-off to the late Sylvester Akumu Otieno.

Happy Labour Day!

We also underscored the need for peaceful coexistence between the neighbouring communities of Gem and Vihiga, even as we collectively work towards lasting and sustainable solutions.

The forum provided an important platform to listen to the miners’ concerns, understand their grievances, and explore possible avenues for redress.

In an endeavour to address the plight and concerns of artisanal miners from Gem Ramula, today, together with ODM Party Leader, Dr. Oburu Oginga, alongside other leaders, we held a productive engagement forum with the local community.

It is through these forums that we can build trust and ensure stakeholders have access to accurate and comprehensive information on the matter.

While this project has the potential to significantly impact our energy sector and boost the local economy, it must be grounded in meaningful dialogue, transparency, and inclusive stakeholder engagement.

Today, alongside H.E the Governor and other leaders of the County Government of Siaya, we convened for a stakeholder engagement session on the proposed nuclear power plant project earmarked for our county.

Wishing you a happy and joyful Easter celebration!

During the session, we presented a report detailing the workforce demographics of the @Siaya_Assembly and highlighted the measures we are taking to uphold inclusivity, gender equality, and social cohesion, and to integrate persons living with disabilities into our workforce.

Our discussions focused on promoting equal opportunities in employment in County Assemblies.

This morning, I led members of the Siaya County Assembly Services Board to an insightful engagement with the Senate Standing Committee on National Cohesion, Equal Opportunity and Regional Integration, chaired by Marsabit Senator, Hon. Mohammed Said Chute.

It will also open up new opportunities for value addition, trade, and job creation, ultimately uplifting livelihoods and driving sustainable economic growth for our people.

This major infrastructural project is set to greatly enhance fish production, improve transportation across the lake, and strengthen market access for our fisher folk.

Today, we had the distinct honor of hosting President William Ruto during his development tour of Siaya County.
