Migori governor Okoth Obado became the first person to be charged in connection with the murder of Sharon Otieno as investigators continue to pursue the actual killers said to be on the run.
Other suspects, among them Obado’s personal assistants, Micheal Juma Oyamo Caspal Obiero, are also expected to be charged .
Ms Melida Auma, the mother of slain Rongo University student Sharon Otieno, has Monday accused Migori Governor Okoth Obado of betraying her daughter, whom she said loved the governor “a lot”.
Speaking moments after coming face-to-face with the man who is accused of murdering her daughter, Ms Auma struggled to contain the storm of emotions raging in her chest, and kept wiping tears off her face. Mr Obado has denied the charges.
Ms Auma said she was yet to come to terms with the tragic death of her first-born daughter, who was seven months pregnant with the governor’s son when she was abducted and killed in Homa Bay three weeks ago.
Although many have sympathized with her over the death of her daughter , many have also questioned how she played her role as a mother in the relationship between Okoth Obado and her daughter.
I sympathise with her but she should also know that she pimped her daughter. Communications between her and the daughter shows that she was actively pimping her daughter to the governor and other moneyed leaders. https://t.co/trm0EGAq5F
