Former Kasipul MP Oyugi Magwanga on Tuesday told Homa Bay residents to maintain peace after the Supreme Court ruling on the disputed election of Governor Cyprian Awiti. Homa Bay High Court Judge Joseph Karanja ruled that the last governor election was marred with illegalities and irregularities rendering it not free and fair. Justice for Mercy Director Kennedy Okoth has also said people must live in peace and life must continue after the ruling. During the last ODM nominations, where Magwanga's team felt shortchanged, the county and especially Homa Bay town was marred with chaos which forced security personnel to intervene. “Homa Bay is our county and we must ensure that we protect it at all costs,elections come and go but life must continue as usual,” Macharia said.
