Yesterday, over three hundred leaders from Lurambi Constiuency met at the Kakamega Social hall to discuss the subdivision of the constituency. The Member of Parliament attended. I was there too and had an opportunity to address the gathering. After hours of deliberations, the resolution was unanimous, that the constituency be split into three. Lurambi, Kakamega Municilpality and Navakholo. The MP was mandated to present our position paper to the review Commission.
Now this morning a local FM Station reports that Lurambi leaders have failed to agree. This surprised me and I called one of the organizers just incase I was mistaken . He explained the problem : the reporter personally is not of that thinking . He 'd rather Municipality remains part of the rural area. Secondly he 'has not been seen' ! Good Lord, for starters it's not the reporters opinion that matters. This is abuse of office. Further, if reporters distort reporting because 'they have not been seen' then we are headed for the mountains. I have asked the Member of Parliament to call the station and set the record straight because yesterday's meeting was not an imagination in my mind. It actually took place.
On that note, may I call upon FM stations to engage more professional reporters.
