*Preamble* Dr.Kuti's approach soon as he took the oath of office on the 23rd of August was slightly different from what many would do.He didnt rush himself into taking rash or irrational decisions like some are wont to do. Instead, 'Baba Yao's key decision was to go about uniting the several political factions that had threatened to tear Isiolo asunder following a largely negative electioneering which saw political temperatures reach pitch-high at its peak moment. He extended an olive branch to his main political nemesis Abdul Bahari in a bid to work together in uniting communities living in wasoland for the benefit of all; a plea which Bahari accepted and was marked by a mighty show of union capped at MCA Fayo's homecoming in Kinna: That was a moment of pride for the people of Waso that such high profile political rivals ditched their political differences and decided to join hands in a bid to work for the people. It was a real crowning moment for ...

*Asc Sakuye Youth* I am humbled beyond words to have been elected as the leader of the Sakuye Youth Council. Indeed, it's a huge responsibility heaped on my shoulders but i can assure you all that am equal to the task before me. I shall be very proactive in promoting and advocating for the welfare of sakuye youth in the entire county as I have been doing before.The only difference right about now is that I have the mandate of the youth solidly behind me which is a very invaluable aspect of this Council. I wish to now call upon all our young people from all corners of this county to unite and give the council the strength it needs to efficiently source for opportunities from different offices and individuals. This process has been a long time coming and with the grace of Allah(swt), we have at last come to a solution. The Sakuye youth have been longing for a voice to represent them. Today we have that voice in the form of SYC. I promise to always play by the constituti...

Cherab ward has been left bleeding from years of neglect from the leaders they elected to improve their livelihood and socio-economic status. Development is an alien word in the context of Cherab ward so far as previous regimes are concerned. The good pple of cherab have been let down by the leaders they elected to see to their welfare in the new dispensation that promises a ground breaking development for the area which faces many challenges from youth unemployment,poor health facilities,poor state of feeder roads, poor quality of education, gender inequality in resource and job allocation and poor investment in youth in areas of sports and arts  as a result,many youth have fallen into the deep abbyss of drug abuse! in the forthcoming 8/8 elections, *Golle* stands tall among her opponents including the incumbent. She has an intractable resume that none of those purporting to vie for the very important seat can challenge. she has a sterling work record in both the civil so...

I have always been fascinated by the person of HGR! I remember having thoughts about HGR being the major threat to Dr. Kuti after he(the latter) beats the other two contenders at the Jubilee primaries.HGR was gunning for the gubernatorial bid on a Kanu ticket then.That wasnt to be and instead the two are now in a clearly indomitable partnership that is on the verge of sweeping all seats across Isiolo County the Independent way! Hussein Golicha Roba(HGR) is the same man whose names have now (spontaneously) become synonymous with kindness(nasole),generosity(chochoba) and selflessness(harja).His integrity is,simply put, beyond reproach! These several virtues he possesses are (in my view) reflective of the impression he leaves in the hearts and minds of those he happens to interact with, not only as a person making his debut in politics but also as an outstanding private citizen who has contributed tremendously in changing the lives of many people in the wasoland and beyond.Most peopl...

*DR.Kuti or Yoyah as he is fondly known to his supporters is no stranger to the people of Isiolo County!* He has been at the helm of leadership for Fifteen(15) years(which makes him the most experienced politician in Isiolo) writing many success stories across the hearts of the people of Isiolo. He is an outstanding leader that has represented the people of Isiolo since 2002 when he rolled into Isiolo political battleground in style beating the then KANU bigwig -hon.Mokku by a decisive landslide sealing his(Mokku) era in isiolo beating him in the two subsequent elections effectively retiring the former legislator, (who also had a stint as an assistant minister in moi cabinet) from elective politics forever! *We shall always miss the good old Mokku of course!* The good doctor has been the man of many firsts setting new trends in Isiolo, putting the formerly marginalized region on the spotlight. *He lobbied for,initiated and implemented countless number of government project...

Hi Isiolo People!  Today, I wish to bring to your attention a matter of solemn concern.  I always find it a great pleasure to highlight the issues that are of concern to our people. The plight of Isiolo County residents have been unfortunate ever since the current regime took the office. Devolution that has improved the lives of people in other counties has not been felt in Isiolo.  The poor have died poorer while few politically-correct individuals are left to enrich themselves with goodies that should have uplifted the face of our county and improve the living standards of the good people of Isiolo. It's sad how their appetite for money has been proven insatiable. Its like a bottomless pit that gobbles everything that drips in it! Back to the issue at hand, Just like any other county in Kenya and more specifically Northern Kenya are  affected by the beating drought, Isiolo has not been spared! Many people have lost their lives due to hunger in parts of Is...
