Members of parliament and other leaders in Siaya on Saturday November 9, 2024 challenged the police to ensure that key masterminds in the murder of the late Wells Fargo Human Resource manager, Willis Ayieko are brought to book.
Speaking during the late Ayieko’s burial at Ong’iende village in Central Alego location, the leaders including MPs, governors and a cabinet secretary said they want answers that will ensure both the planners and executors of the murder face justice.
At the same time, Alego/Usonga MP Samuel Atandi expressed fear that some of the people conducting the investigations could be advancing theories that would derail efforts to bring the planners to justice.
He alleged that a senior DCI official had told him that they were pursuing a theory that the deceased was killed by members of a vigilante group that was hired to provide security at a funeral vigil that Willis attended in Gem.
Siaya governor, James Orengo urged the police to stop going round with stories, saying that all that Kenyans wanted was the planners and killers of the late Human Resource manager.
He said that the police must use modern technology to bring all the players in the heinous crime to book.
In addition, Ugenya MP David Ochieng and his Rarieda counterpart Otiende Amollo lamented that the culture of abductions and mysterious killings had taken root in the country and accused the government of encouraging the same.
Ochieng said that leaders and all Kenyans must register their displeasure at the way police were handling the unexplained murders and abductions in the country.
Rarieda legislator Otiende Amollo said it was the responsibility of the government to give security to every citizen and urged security forces to pull up their socks.
Meanwhile, Energy cabinet secretary Opiyo Wandayi, who also addressed the occasion, assured that the government was committed to bringing the perpetrators to book and called for calm.
The late Ayieko, 52 years, went missing on October 18, 2024 only for his body to be discovered four days later at Mungoware stream that forms the border of Siaya and Kisumu counties.
He had earlier attended a funeral vigil in Gem.
