Parliament building Kenya |
Siaya County is located in Nyanza Province and
it`s home to Kenya`s Prime Minister Mr.Raila Odinga though he represents
Langata constituency found in Nairobi in Parliament.
The
County has 5 constituencies namely Ugenya, Alego, Gem, Bondo and Rarieda.The County is largely inhabited by Dhluo speaking
people who are Nilotes but there are other tribes like Luhyas who live there as
a result of Siaya sharing a border with at least 3 Counties of Luhya Speaking
people Busia, Kakamega and Vihiga and also business people from Central
Province (Kikuyus) and Somalis from North Eastern Province have found there way
in the county as a result of commercial activities.
The main economic activity in
Saia County is fishing from Lake Victoria and subsistence farming.

Edwin Yinda:Alego |
Yinda is believed to be very
close to Kenyan Prime Minister Mr.Raila Odinga though we couldn`t establish his
right record of development in his constituency as a persistent trial by our
reporter George Oyaya to call him on the number we were given that belong to
him went unanswered though his constituent were of the view that he is trying
compared to his predecessors.
On Saturday we look at MPS in
Gem and Bondo.
