Dr. Charles Owino Wahongo’s kind of politics evolves along Raila Odinga’s liberal democratic lines and he has a manifesto reflecting this, identifying unemployment as a public enemy number one.
He has laid out plans on how he intend to address it along with investment facilitations through various corporates, infrastructural development, food security which focuses on each household in Siaya County especially on food crop farming, cash crop farming with surplus to be exported to earn the county foreign exchange that will be used in other areas for development.
Charles Owino Wahongo the former Police Spokesman, talks so passionately about farming as the only way of fighting poverty. He believes that a child with food in the stomach has got the right esteem and stimulation to learn unlike the one without food in the stomach.
Once sworn in, Dr. Charles Owino Wahongo will focus his energy on Lake Kanyaboli where Siaya has enormous resource that hasn’t been harnessed to take care of all sectors within the county government.

Charles Owino Wahongo, while being interviewed at Lolwe Radio this morning, was faced with a common complaint by self-styled critics that Kenyan politicians all sound much the same in their manifestos but when elected they only accumulate wealth and leave without fulfilling their pledges.

In his manifesto, Dr. Charles Owino Wahongo, alias, OBILA MAN GI NYOTA as Festus Amimo WA refers to him, has prepared a costings supplement, detailing how his election pledges would be funded just like Raila Amollo’s pledge to give unemployed youths Ksh6,000 stipends monthly for survival to control social crimes and reduce drug-abuse due to frustrations that are mostly informed to by lack of proper jobs. The supplement, by Raila Odinga has been researched and prepared thoroughly by economic scholars and practitioners.
This is what my interpretation of #Kuonn_ewi_mesa_pesa_ei_ofuko means to me as a voter from Siaya.
#kuon_ewi_mesa_pesa_ei_ofuko is real with Charles Owino Wahongo as Siaya County Governor
