KENYA GOVERNMENT HUNTING ODM MEMBERS IN WESTERN PROVINCE LIKE WILD ANIMALS

Kenya, Republic of (Press Release) January 28, 2008 -- The family of Mr. Reuben Sechele Nyangweso would like to ask all people of good will in Kenya and worldwide, to pray for them and particularly Mr. Reuben Nyangweso who is currently as of 2pm US Eastern Standard Time being hunted like an animal by PNU operatives lead by Mr. Libondo and others from Lurambi constituency. Reuben was a contestant in the ODM nomination for Lurambi. He was not nominated but then was appointed as Mr. Raila’s Election coordinator. There lies his mistake, whereas the original riots were spontaneous anger driven – Now the PNU operatives with help from the security officers in Western are singling out ODM members cutting them with machetes so that the world may not know that it was the government. Mr. Libondo is the contestant who lost to Mr. Raila Oginga in Kibera, he comes from Western Province
We the family of Mr. Nyangweso in Kenya, Delaware USA, Kansas USA and Ottawa Canada would like to let the world know that we hold the PNU operatives in Kakamega, in Nairobi and the Kibaki government responsible for the safety and good health of Mr. Reuben Nyangweso and all other ODM members.
Mr. Nyangweso should be guaranteed safe passage without let or hindrance. When we last talked to him we could hear stones pounding his car as he courageous drove through road blocks set up around his home by the PNU Lurambi operatives. We have to desist from talking to him on his cell phone, because someone was using it to track his movement. Only the Police have access to cell phone tracking technology in Kenya. The PNU, the Police, Safaricom and the Kibaki government therefore stands responsible for the safety of the person or Mr. Reuben Nyangweso and all those ODM members in the Western province countryside.
We do not understand how it can be that the PNU, would want to hunt, mime and Kill Kenyan who hold a different view just to stay in power. We would like to pray that this situation be resolved without setting the stage for long term challenges for the country and the generations to come. We would like to ask all investors in the country to take a long term view of their investments in Kenya. It is very discouraging when press releases from tour operators and governments state that only Kenyans are being targeted and tourists are safe OR that company operations are going on as usual except a 800 or mor Kenyans have been killed by ethnic mobs. These are real people, and the PNU should be held accountable.
